The Demon Palace was located in the center of Tianmo Region, in Tianmo City.
It was also the only force in Tianmo Region, managed by a Palace Master and four Demon Kings.
Today, the Palace Master of the Demon Palace, Yeroth, had gathered the four Demon Kings and many other experts together in the palace to discuss an important matter.
Yeroth was a middle-aged man dressed in a black robe. He had a black horn that protruded from his forehead, and he was now seated on the main throne.
Glancing down upon the masses of the upper echelons of the Demon Palace, he pointed to a bald man with a terrifying, scared face who was seated on the third seat from the right.
“This is Voldemort. He will be the fifth Demon King of the Demon Palace in the future.”
“Palace Master, but he is only a Rank-3 Heaven Realm. How can he be a Demon King?”
A three-headed, six-armed Demon King sitting beside Voldemort asked unwittingly.
They had become Demon Kings by relying on their strength. The other four Demon Kings had the strength of Greater Completion Heaven Realm. As such, they could not fathom why Voldemort had been allowed to become a Demon King when he only had the strength of a Rank-3 Heaven Realm.
They found it somewhat unfair.
“Rank-3 Heaven Realm can kill you, who have already attained Greater Completion Heaven Realm. Then perhaps you think that your own strength is not worthy of a Demon King’s?” Yeroth smiled as he looked at the three-headed, six-armed Demon King.
“How is that possible?” The being, Kui Ke, did not believe it at all.
“If you don’t believe it, the two of us can compete.”
Voldemort stood up, revealing a sinister smile as he looked at Kui Ke.
“You think I’m afraid of you? Let’s fight!”
Kui Ke was known for his temper. He eagerly walked toward the arena outside.
Voldemort trailed behind, with Yeroth and the other Demon Kings following suit.
There were many arenas in the courtyard of the Demon Palace, mainly intended for the training of the Demon Palace’s team.
Kui Ke leaped onto the arena before looking at Voldemort provocatively.
Voldemort only laughed sinisterly in response. His body hovered up as he landed gracefully in front of the Demon King.
“Make your move. If I go first, you won’t even have a chance to do anything!” Kui Ke roared as he brandished a pair of huge iron hammers.
“Are you sure?” A sly smile found its way on Voldemort’s face as he looked back at him.
“I’m curious to see how a Rank-3 Heaven Realm like you can defeat me. I want you to make your move first, so that the others don’t have to say that I’m simply bullying the weak.”
Kui Ke looked like he was certain of his victory.
“Okay!”
Voldemort nodded, the sinister smile still plastered across his face as a scepter materialized in his hands.
He raised it as he murmured, and instantly, a black hole appeared on his abdomen. Suddenly, a demon came rushing out of it, charging directly at Kui Ke, wielding a large blade in his hands.
Seeing this scene, Kui Ke was stunned.
He knew that the others thought of him as strange, but he hadn’t expected that there was someone else more unpredictable than him. He instinctively raised the huge pair of iron hammers to block Voldemort’s attack.
“Keke…”
The demon let out an ominous laugh as it slashed at Kui Ke’s two hammers, splitting them in half. Its huge blade cut through them like a hot knife through butter.
Crack…
One of Kui Ke’s heads had been lobbed clean off, and his fixed HP dropped to only a sliver. He was gravely injured.
Hiss…
As they watched the scene, the spectating Demon Kings and other higher-ups of the Demon Palace collectively drew a sharp breath.
With only the strength of a Rank-3 Heaven Realm, this newcomer had defeated a Demon King with the strength of a Greater Completion Heaven Realm in one attack! It was simply unbelievable.
It was important to note that achieving the status of a Demon King was already impressive on its own even among those that had obtained the Greater Completion Heaven Realm. However, he had still been unable to withstand even one blow from Voldemort. As such, one could only imagine how terrifying this contender was!
The heavily injured Kui Ke looked at Voldemort in fear. After a long pause, he trembled, “The power of a Secret Treasure! Impossible! The Secret Treasure’s effects have not been activated yet. How did you use its power?”
“It was indeed the power of a Secret Treasure. However, I was not the one who used it. It was Xuan Mo!”
Voldemort did not hide anything as he responded calmly.
“Xuan Mo!”
Everyone was extremely shocked.
They all knew of this profound devil, a powerful creature from the Demon World.
In that case, the thing that had emerged from Voldemort’s body earlier was not some sort of ability. Instead, it was a profound devil! To be precise, it was the soul of that devil.
To have confined the soul of a profound devil into his body was a somewhat unbelievable achievement.
“I lost. You are more powerful than the four of us Demon Kings. I submit.”
Now that he knew his opponent standing before him had actually managed to confine a profound devil inside his body, Kui Ke no longer had the arrogance he held before.
Yeroth smiled. “This time, apart from announcing the fifth Demon King, there is one more agenda on the list. The scheme we have been planning for so long begins tonight. The five Demon Kings will lead the Heavenly Demon army to clear out a few checkpoints that lead to Xingyue Region. Remember, we must not let any news of this spread to that region. Then, we will station the Heavenly Demon army at the checkpoints. An offensive will be initiated on Xingyue Region the day after tomorrow during Tianji’s tournament finals!”
“Understood!”
Voldemort, Kui Ke, and the other three Demon Kings responded before they left, beginning to clear the levels.
..
Tianji’s tournament was still in full swing.
No one was expecting for a crisis to arrive.
Ding. Tianji System Prompt: Congratulations to your team for winning!
After a few hours, the Huaxia squadron had successfully won six consecutive victories. The next two matches would be against the Demon Palace Squadron C and the Norm Squadron.
After all, with their current strength, it would not be too much of an exaggeration to say that they were invincible among their peers.
They had already fought six matches. As long as they won another three tomorrow, they would be entitled to enter the finals.
After exiting the arena, Jiang Feng and the others appeared in the courtyard.
“Go and rest up. Tonight, follow me to Tianmo Region to kill and steal treasures!”
Jiang Feng said to his four members with an impish smile.
“Captain, can I go too?” Huang Xiaoyu asked excitedly.
Jiang Feng nodded.
“All of you have summoned an A Rank Earth Soul. Of course, you can go. Even if you encounter danger, it will not be a problem for you to escape unscathed.”
“Yeah… we can finally make a huge win this time!”
Creak…
At that moment, the courtyard door opened as Feng Qingyang and his group walked in.
“Xiaoyu, what’s so exciting?” Feng Qingyang asked with a smile.
“We’re going to Tianmo Region to kill and steal treasures,” replied Huang Xiaoyu enthusiastically.
Feng Qingyang looked at Jiang Feng as he asked, “Why don’t we follow you tonight? We’d also like to get our hands on some Secret Treasures.”
Jiang Feng said, “Sure. We’ll gather at 8 pm and go to Tianmo Region to make a big fuss.”
Everyone was eager to gather more Secret Treasures before the next matches.
If they had wanted to obtain them in the Star-Moon region, they would have only been allowed to trade for or buy them. However, Tianmo Region was different. Here, they could directly rob and kill others. Not only could they obtain Secret Treasures, but they might also even find themselves other rare treasures and equipment manuals.
Killing a big shot would be worth a huge amount of wealth. As they had an Invisibility Cloak, Tianmo Region was not a dangerous place for them. Instead, it was a hidden treasure trove.
After all, the previous harvest still remained clearly in their minds. They had obtained seven to eight Secret Treasures, as well as a lot of wealth in just one night.
Everyone was fervent at the thought of the opportunity to obtain even more treasures.
