These four words are of great significance. Once they leap over the dragon gate, they can transcend the mortal world and become true immortals, possessing extraordinary talent. At that time, even in the entire Eastern Region, they will be considered top-tier experts.
"Enough with the small talk, let's go in."
After speaking, the Lord of Ten Thousand Demons waved his sleeve, and a huge crack suddenly appeared in the center of Ten Thousand Demons City, revealing an ancient and primordial aura that made people want to worship.
The eighty-five Foundation Establishment disciples exchanged glances, then leaped into the crevice.
The crack was pitch black, but the group quickly adapted to the environment. Led by the Lord of Ten Thousand Demons, they ventured deeper into the crack. Along the way, they encountered many demonic beasts, but these beasts were so frightened by their presence that they prostrated themselves on the ground, trembling, clearly startled by the commotion they had just witnessed.
"These small fry are not worth mentioning. The real high-ranking members of the demon race are hidden in the core area of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range. It is said that in the deepest part of the Ten Thousand Demon Sacred Mountain, there are two demon kings in the Nascent Soul Realm who are even more powerful than those in the Golden Core Realm."
The Lord of Ten Thousand Demons said indifferently.
"A demon king at the Nascent Soul stage!"
Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in shock, their eyes filled with fear. The Nascent Soul Realm was an existence they dared not even dream of.
The Lord of Ten Thousand Demons seemed to see everyone's concerns and chuckled, "Don't worry, such beings disdain to participate in worldly struggles. Otherwise, humanity would have been wiped out long ago. Moreover, even the Nascent Soul Realm demon kings are divided into different ranks, and some of the weaker ones can't even defeat those in the Golden Core Realm."
As they spoke, the group arrived at the core of the Ten Thousand Demon Sacred Mountain. Here, demonic mist filled the air, teeming with powerful demonic energy. Powerful fluctuations emanated from the area, causing a stir among the group.
"Everyone, please be quiet. This is the core area of the Ten Thousand Demon Sacred Mountain, which is fraught with danger. Do not act rashly."
The Lord of Ten Thousand Demons warned, then his figure flickered and he fled in one direction at great speed.
The group of disciples exchanged glances and followed suit.
Soon after, a vast, empty plaza appeared before everyone's eyes. Around the plaza were platforms thousands of feet high, and in the center of the plaza stood a middle-aged man. Behind him stood skeletons, and a sinister aura emanated from him, causing everyone's expressions to change slightly.
"Greetings, Sect Master."
Upon seeing the man, the disciples immediately bowed and paid their respects, their eyes filled with awe.
This man was none other than Wan Jianfeng, the city lord of Wan Yao City.
"You've come at the right time. Now, I announce the rules for the test."
Wan Jianfeng pondered for a moment, then said loudly, "Each of you has the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to prepare. During this period, you need to defeat all kinds of demonic beasts in the Hundred Beast Forest. Only the thirty-two who survive will be able to pass the test and become official disciples of the Myriad Demon Holy Palace. Do you understand?"
"clear!"
The disciples responded in unison.
The Palace of Ten Thousand Demons, as a force dedicated to cultivating extraordinary geniuses, is extremely competitive.
One month from now, it will be the day for the Myriad Demon Palace to recruit new members, and on that day, about half of the disciples will be eliminated.
Only the remaining thirty-two people were qualified to participate in the test.
"Go ahead." Wan Jianfeng nodded, his gaze sweeping over the disciples, and said, "Good luck!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his body floated up and returned to the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons.
"Kill them!"
"Seize the opportunity!"
"Kill all these beasts."
In an instant, countless shouts of battle shook the heavens.
The demonic clouds above the Sacred Mountain of Ten Thousand Demons grew increasingly fierce, and countless demonic beasts rushed out from them, roaring wildly as if they wanted to destroy everything.
The disciples were instantly engulfed in a chaotic battle.
These disciples were all carefully selected geniuses from the Myriad Demon Holy Palace. They were powerful and their weapons were extraordinary. Each sword, spear, and club gleamed with a cold light and burst forth with dazzling brilliance, cutting down demonic beasts or piercing their chests, their blood staining the void red.
This same scene is also happening outside.
On the plains outside Wan Yao Mountain, hundreds of thousands of warriors sat cross-legged, silently guarding this ancient city.
They are the guardians!
"roar!"
Suddenly, a furious roar resounded from afar, and a massive demonic tiger charged out from among the demonic beasts, roaring repeatedly.
"Is that the Ironclad Demon Bear?"
"Indeed, the Ironclad Demon Bear is fierce and brutal, likes to hunt humans, and is extremely powerful. It is difficult for ordinary people to fight against it. I wonder how many people will be able to last until the end this time."
"Although the Ironclad Demon Bear is powerful, it cannot withstand our hundreds of thousands of people."
"Hahahaha, this trip to Ten Thousand Demon Mountain will be a slaughter feast."
...
The crowd discussed excitedly, as this scene had occurred many times before, with a batch of demonic beasts being wiped out every few days.
However, this time the scale was somewhat special because the commotion coming from the core area of Wan Yao Mountain was too great, attracting the attention of countless demon beasts, which caused such a large-scale demon tide attack.
"roar!"
Another roar rang out, and a leopard demon covered in silver scales emerged from among the monsters. Its eyes gleamed with a ferocious killing intent, and its gaze was cold and ruthless.
"Leopard Demon King!"
The crowd looked on with fear. The Leopard Demon King was comparable to a seventh-level Golden Core cultivator, and its defense was astonishing; ordinary attacks were completely ineffective against it.
Boom!
The Leopard Demon King pounced out like lightning, instantly reaching the group of humans.
"Kill them!"
From the crowd came continuous, pitiful screams.
"Bang--"
Suddenly, the Leopard Demon King's claws ripped out, and one disciple was caught off guard and grabbed, bleeding profusely, dying on the spot.
"roar!"
Immediately afterwards, another tiger's roar rang out, and a fiery lion stepped out from the beast tide. Its fur was as red as fire, and its body was hundreds of meters long. It rolled over like a tank, crushing everything in its path without any obstruction.
In the blink of an eye, the humans lost a lot of their manpower, including many experts at the Foundation Establishment stage.
"Damn it." A martial artist at the fourth level of the Golden Core stage cursed under his breath as he soared into the air and headed straight for the Flame Lion King.
"roar!"
The Flame Lion King roared to the sky, and several huge fiery wings stretched out from behind him, instantly stirring up a storm of fire waves.
"Die."
The Golden Core Stage 4 expert roared and brandished his sword, unleashing a burst of sharp sword energy that collided with the fiery wings.
Surprisingly, the fiery wings pierced through the sword energy and slashed towards the Golden Core Stage 4 expert.
Pfft!
Caught off guard, the Golden Core Stage 4 expert was pierced through by the fiery wings, his head exploded, and he perished.
"How could this be?" Everyone's gaze sharpened, their eyes filled with intense horror.
