Chapter 465 - Demon General Typhoon

Chapter 465 - Demon General Typhoon

Is this a master who has cleared the heavenly meridian point and reached the Ninth Passage Stage? A master who can fly? Long Chen was in awe. The cold and stern gaze from the black-armored warrior gave him a suffocating feeling. Other than Ling Xi’s family, this was the most powerful person Long Chen had ever met.

The strongest person in the Ancient Demon Domain was the Demon Emperor, and the people at the top of the faction also included the seven Devil Kings and twenty-eight Demon Generals! One of these people from the top brass had appeared in front of the crowd.

“Ladies and gentlemen, good day to you! I am one of the twenty-eight Demon Generals of the Ancient Demon Domain, whom people call Demon General Typhoon! I am the one in charge of the qualifiers today! No one’s performance will escape my eyes, so you must work hard! After you pass three rounds, Ancient Demon Domain will become your home. Combat techniques, Heavenly Passage Pills, spiritual medicines, divine weapons, and even beautiful ladies are all waiting for you! All you need to do is strive as hard as you can! Strive for your lives!”

Demon General Typhoon’s voice was booming loud. His short monologue was enough to ignite the battle spirit within the crowd of almost one hundred thousand. In a world ruled by the strongest, masters were the most respected individuals. Demon General Typhoon was one of the few who invited respect.

Since he could fly, he was like a deity who was far from their reach. He stopped in the air above the crowd.

“Alright, I will not waste your time. I’ll now introduce the first round—Black Prison! I believe you all must have learned a lot about the Black Prison before the qualifiers. In summary, the gravity within the Black Prison is much stronger than it is outside, and the deeper you go, the stronger it will be! How deep is the Black Prison? I don’t know, and none of you will find out. What you need to do is simple: do your best to walk forward!

“Listen closely. The rules of the Black Prison are simple! After you enter, you are forbidden from using your Qi. You must rely on the strength of your body only. Walk as far as you can! There are eighty thousand people here, but we will only choose the seven thousand who have walked the furthest for the next round! Everyone else will be disqualified!”

When he finished, Demon Typhoon General’s gaze swept coldly across the crowd. “I believe many of you came from far away, and many of you are carrying the weight of your parents’ expectations too. That is why you must do your best to squeeze into the top seven thousand even if you need to risk your life. Opportunity belongs to people who work hard. You may only be a few steps away from success at any given time. That is why no one should give up until the very last moment!”

The crowd clenched their fists tight, as if they were all filled with power.

Indeed, many people had suffered a lot in order to reach the Heavenly Passage Realm before the age of twenty. Some had suffered even more in order to come to the Ancient Demon Domain. They were all here to do their best. If they could enter the Ancient Demon Domain, then their lives would change drastically. Who wouldn’t want to change their fate?

Everyone was filled with excitement!

Looking at the excited smiles of the young men and women, Demon General Typhoon’s lips curled upwards into a faint smile. He looked around and said, “Don’t worry. Do your best to win! Now, I will explain the reward system! All cultivators who pass the first round will be awarded twenty Heavenly Passage Pills! The top thousand will receive fifty, and the top one hundred will receive two hundred each! The top ten will receive five hundred Heavenly Passage Pills!

“Of course, if you enter the top three, you will receive even more Heavenly Passage Pills. Third place will be awarded two thousand Heavenly Passage Pills, second place four thousand! Finally, the champion will be awarded ten thousand Heavenly Passage Pills!”

Ten thousand Heavenly Passage Pills! That was the average Fifth Passage Stage cultivator’s life savings.

Also, that was only the first round. The next two rounds would likely have greater rewards!

With so many people receiving Heavenly Passage Pills, the Ancient Demon Domain was likely going to give away almost a million Heavenly Passage Pills today. It was clearly an affluent faction.

After hearing the good news, even the people who already knew about the reward system grew excited. As long as they could pass the first round, even if they were only one of the seven thousand, they would still receive twenty Heavenly Passage Pills. This was enough motivation for them!

Demon General Typhoon gave a proud smile when he saw the excitement in the crowd. He thought, I wonder who will win the ten thousand Heavenly Passage Pills? Will it be Demon General Strongman’s nephew, Zhao Wuji? Or will it be that little ten-year-old girl from just now? Zhao Wuji has killed a Fifth Passage Stage cultivator, so he stands a higher chance.

Now that he had successfully hyped the crowd up, he added, “Also, all rewards will be distributed on the spot, immediately! Therefore, do your best! Now, I will arrange for you all to enter the Black Prison. Everyone will start on the same starting line, so you don’t need to worry!”

With Demon General Typhoon present, order was easily maintained. Plus, there were hundreds of black-clothed disciples watching too.

Under their instructions, Long Chen followed the crowd and entered the pitch-black Black Prison. It was a very wide expanse, and upon entry, a red line appeared in front. All the participants were arranged to stand on the same starting line.

From this alone, one could imagine just how big the Black Prison was!

Demon General Typhoon was floating up in the air.

“There will be strong gravity starting from this red line, which will get stronger the further you go. Walk ahead, and remember two things: do not ever use Qi and do not attack anyone, or you will be disqualified!”

“Yes!” the crowd replied in unison. The crowd’s voices echoed like thunder through the whole Black Prison.

“We shall begin, then.”

Everyone came to their senses and started sprinting instantly, fighting to be in front. Some people believed that maintaining endurance was key, while others felt like starting slow would only make them fall behind.

Brash people often met tragic ends. Ten thousand out of the eighty thousand participants sprinted head-first into the grounds. Because they had underestimated the gravitational pull, many of them fell flat on the ground the moment they crossed the red line.

The powerful gravity yanked their bodies towards the ground, and due to the strong impact, some hit the ground hard enough to spit out blood.

Such a tragic scene made the rest who wanted to sprint inside halt immediately. At least three thousand of the ten thousand people had collapsed.

The crowd looked at each other in horror.

“The gravity is so strong!” A wave of shock ran through them.

However, the ones who survived and were not squashed marched ahead. Everyone’s chests tightened, and they reminded themselves that they could not use their Qi here. They started to head deeper inside. Since they were all prepared, they fared much better. The first batch were only unprepared because they were in a rush.

As more and more people started to enter, Long Chen and Huangfu Qi looked at each other. Huangfu Qi said, “Big Brother, don’t collapse the moment you enter, or I’ll laugh at you! Hehe!”

“Well, let’s see who collapses first,” said Long Chen with a smile.

He was pleasantly surprised with this round, as they were testing his strongest quality. In terms of body toughness, he was likely the strongest of all eighty thousand people.

The one hundredth fraction of the Ancient Bloodsoul Dragon’s Inherited Blood Essence was no joke.

The duo followed the crowd into the grounds. Usually, everyone slouched slightly even if they were strong until they slowly acclimatized and could stand up straight again.

Huangfu Qi felt the immense pressure on her body and was not used to it at first. After some adjustments, she finally acclimatized.

Big Brother hasn’t collapsed, has he? After stabilizing himself, she hurriedly turned around. She expected the First Passage Stage Long Chen to have collapsed.

However, her eyes widened because she saw him walk effortlessly. He glanced at her and smiled. “Let’s go! Why are you standing there?”

Can’t Big Brother feel the gravity? Huangfu Qi was stunned because Long Chen looked like he was walking on normal ground. His footsteps were light and his expression was relaxed.

“Qi Qi, catch up,” Long Chen reminded her when he saw that she was not moving.

“Oh, oh!” Huangfu Qi hurriedly nodded and caught up to him. She must have cultivated an intermediate body tempering technique, which was why she was able to withstand the gravity too. Long Chen was the only person in sight who was more at ease than her.

“Big Brother, what’s up with you? Don’t you feel the gravity?” Huangfu Qi asked him with wide eyes.

“Of course I do, but I’m stronger than you. Do you believe me? Do you dare make a bet?” Long Chen said to the curious little girl.

“Hmph! I don’t believe you. Let’s make a bet, then! Do you think I’m scared?” she responded.

But she suddenly thought of something. “Big Brother, where is the puppy?”

When she wasn’t paying attention, Long Chen had let Xiaolang into the Primordial Realm. It was only now that she remembered him. Long Chen said, “I hid Xiaolang. If you can beat me, I’ll show him to you.”

“Huh?” She froze, then her battle spirit shone in her eyes and she declared loudly, “Big Brother, let’s begin!”

Then Huangfu Qi ran off.
