Chapter 471 - Seven Demon Kings

Everyone knew the correct answer, so Demon General Typhoon could not even make the audience guess. He smiled in exasperation and said, “That’s right! The sound made by the Heavenly Passage Pillar made it clear that Jiang Cheng’s attack was stronger. That is why the champion of the second round is Jiang Cheng! Zhao Wuji’s performance was, of course, excellent too, so he takes second place. He will receive ten thousand Heavenly Passage Pills, and Jiang Cheng wins thirty thousand Heavenly Passage Pills!”

Thirty thousand! Everyone stared at Long Chen with admiration.

With such a large sum, he would not need to worry about his cultivation or livelihood for a very long time. Heavenly Passage Pills were basically almighty. As long as one had Heavenly Passage Pills, they would have everything else.

Of course, Long Chen had won them using his own capabilities, so no one objected.

“Alright, it is almost the end of our qualifiers. The second round has ended. Everyone else, please leave Ancient Demon Domain using the same path. As for the remaining seven hundred, you all will enter the most crucial round. Once you pass this round, you will be a respected Ancient Demon Domain disciple!” announced Demon General Typhoon.

There was only one round left. All the remaining participants were extremely anxious. But after they gritted their teeth and thought about it, they knew that their lives would change drastically as long as they passed. This was the most important crossroads of their lives. Only one in ten people would advance, so why not give it all they had?

The crowd was filled with battle spirit. Nêww chapters will be fully updated at novelhall.com

“After the second round, your serial numbers aren’t in sequence anymore, so you must take a new number! I will then announce the rules of the third round!”

A disciple brought out a large box. This box was sealed, but there was a fist-sized hole on top. It was completely black inside.

“There are seven hundred pieces of paper inside, and every piece has a number. Everyone! Take a number! Remember this—you’re forbidden from exchanging numbers with someone else! If you do so, you will be disqualified immediately. The Ancient Demon Domain has thousands of prodigies; we won’t miss you!” Demon General Typhoon warned sternly.

Have we finally reached the last round? The Ancient Demon Domain is indeed a super faction. Even the qualifying event is this elaborate. A regular person really could never join them. Perhaps this event also guarantees a constant supply of prodigies, thought Long Chen.

With his current abilities, he was only somewhat confident he could beat a Fourth Passage Stage cultivator, but cultivators at the Fifth Passage Stage and above were beyond his level. There were thousands of people beyond the Fifth Passage Stage in the Ancient Demon Domain itself.

In an environment filled with such powerful people, victors will rise quickly, but the weak will die or get disqualified. I really need to risk it all this time. Long Chen steeled himself.

This time, it was Huangfu Qi’s turn. After she took her number, he took his own. The number “1” was written on his piece of paper.

“Big Brother, mine says ‘2!’ Mine says ‘2!’ What about you?” Huangfu Qi looked up excitedly.

“One,” he said truthfully.

“How coincidental! Jiang Cheng, it looks like the heavens aren’t standing on your side,” said a voice laced with venom.

Long Chen did not need to turn around to know that it was Zhao Wuji.

Demon General Typhoon’s words fanned the flames of passion.

“Ten people will remain on each stage, so the seventy of you will receive the most important reward—becoming an Ancient Demon Domain disciple, and also a thousand Heavenly Passage Pills!”

A thousand?

The crowd erupted with excitement. The top three of the first round had only received two thousand Heavenly Passage Pills each. If they passed this round, they would receive a thousand! It was clear how rich the Ancient Demon Domain was.

“Of course, since the past two rounds had three top places, then the third round will have the same format! However, those who end up in eighth to seventieth place will receive a thousand pills. Fourth to seventh place will receive five thousand Heavenly Passage Pills each! Third place, ten thousand Heavenly Passage Pills. Second place, thirty thousand Heavenly Passage Pills. First place will receive sixty thousand Heavenly Passage Pills!”

The highest reward was sixty thousand Heavenly Passage Pills. This meant that if Long Chen came out in first place on the last round, he would win a total of one hundred thousand Heavenly Passage Pills today!

Everyone drooled over the rewards!

“Of course, the Heavenly Passage Pills are only part of the reward. The top seven will become the direct disciples of the seven Earthly Martial Realm Demon Kings!

“The seven Demon Kings are also the Pavilion Lords of the seven pavilions in the Ancient Demon Domain. All of them are ranked just beneath the Demon Emperor, and ranked above ten thousand people. Becoming their disciple guarantees great success, so everyone, take this seriously!” Demon General Typhoon said excitedly.

“Lord Demon General, won’t the battle royale merely produce seventy winners? How will you determine the top seven and top three?” a teenager asked, puzzled.

“That’s simple!” Demon General Typhoon smiled. “Once the ten winners of each stage are decided, they will have another free-for-all until only one person remains on the stage. That person will be one of the top seven! The winners will become their respective stage’s sole finalist, and all finalists will become the seven Demon Kings’ direct disciples. There will then be a final battle, so the third to last to leave will come in third, the second to last to leave will come in second, and the final person remaining will be the champion!”

Luck seemed to play a huge part with this ruleset. However, only a strong person would be able to remain standing.

Out of the seven hundred people, the final person standing would be the absolute champion!

Long Chen smiled. So, the last round was a battle royale. It was no wonder Zhao Wuji had said that Long Chen was going to die. But who would die in the end?

He looked up at the seven Demon Kings behind the stage.

Those Earthly Martial Realm cultivators radiate an arrogant and immense power, while Ling Xi’s family radiated an energy that is mysterious and terrifying. This means that her grandmother is stronger than them. However, the seven Demon Kings still look quite scary. They live up to their reputation as the top cultivators of the Divine Martial Empire!

Under Demon General Typhoon’s instructions, everyone started to climb onto the martial stages.

They would also be performance stages.
