The huge mana wave was terrifying to the core world. It was not the first time that Ji Dong had seen three people appearing at the same time. Back then, during the calamity of the Holy Evil Island, Dark Fate also used the Dark Ritual to bring the four Holy Pigs over and devoured them all. However, in terms of strength, the four Holy Pigs obviously couldn't compare to the three Saint-rank powerhouses in front of him.
Another thing that shocked Ji Dong was that the three Supreme Elders of the Flaming Bar in the core world actually cultivated Yin Yang and Fire at the same time. They seemed to be verifying what the Flaming Bar said back then, that only dual-attribute cultivation was orthodox.
"I haven't seen you for a long time. There are only over 70 races that can really participate in this ceremony today." An old voice echoed in the vast space. It was the Fire Spirit King. The most senior king spoke first. Even the powerful Fire Spirit King didn't intend to stop him.
Hearing the Fire Spirit King's words, the kings around Ji Dong and the others couldn't help but lower their heads and didn't dare to look at the Fire Spirit King. Obviously, the Fire Spirit King was very dissatisfied with their action of snatching the token of other races.
Fortunately, the Fire Spirit King's gaze just swept past them and continued, "Our great founder, Her Majesty the Flaming Bar Empress, has not appeared for a long time or given us any instructions for some reason. Since the establishment of the Flaming Bar, all the races in the core world have been living in harmony with each other. There are no more wars in the past. It can be said that Her Majesty the Flaming Bar Empress has turned our core world into a pure land. If we want the core world to continue to be stable, the rules set by Her Majesty the Empress can't be changed. The core cannot be without a leader for a day. We don't have any news about Her Majesty the Empress, but we still need a unified leader. Therefore, after the three of us discussed, we decided to hold this ceremony and select a person who is strong in all aspects to temporarily take over the position of the leader. Although it's just an acting leader, no matter which race it is, it will be a permanent honor for that race. Therefore, I hope that everyone can actively participate in the selection ceremony later."
The Fire Spirit King's soul wave was too strong. Although his cultivation was only at the Middle Level of the Sage Stage, his soul power was definitely at the High Level of the Sage Stage. It was even close to the Peak Level of the Sage Stage. What a terrifying soul wave! Ji Dong knew that unless he and Chen Sixuan carried out Soul Fusion, they would definitely be suppressed by the Fire Spirit King in terms of soul level. Even if they completed the Soul Fusion, they might not be able to defeat the Fire Spirit King.
"Yes." The representatives of each race immediately responded. Even the clansmen of the three major races did the same.
At this moment, the Fire Spirit King waved his hand and said, "Then let's begin. The three of us will not participate in this selection. Participants can come out and draw lots now."
Simple and direct. This could be considered the exclusive style of the core world. At least on the surface, the current Fire Spirit King didn't seem to be abnormal. Among the three Supreme Elders, only the Fire Lotus King Lie Yan didn't speak. However, no one would ignore this Supreme Elder. Everyone knew that she was the clansmen of the Flaming Bar Empress. Although the Empress had gone missing, who dared to say that the Empress wouldn't return one day? Therefore, among the three major races, the Fire Lotus Race was the weakest in terms of overall strength. However, the other races didn't dare to provoke them.
Hong Yan's figure flashed and she walked out from the Fire Lotus Race's camp. She was the only one in the entire Fire Lotus Race who walked out. However, something unexpected happened. It was different from what the Fire Lotus King Lie Yan had predicted. There were actually 11 Fire Demons that walked out from the Fire Demon Race's camp.
Every one of them was more than eight meters tall. The one leading them was squatting among his clansmen. At this moment, he suddenly stood up and his height was more than ten meters. What was more terrifying was that his body was also burning with dual-colored flames. He looked like a miniature version of the Fire Spirit King.
On the Fire Spirit Race's side, there were also three dense spiritual flames. In terms of quantity, the Fire Spirit Race and the Fire Demon Race surpassed the Fire Lotus Race.
The Fire Spirit King and the Fire Lotus King looked at the Fire Spirit King at the same time. Lie Yan said in a deep voice, "Fire Spirit King, what do you mean by this?"
The Fire Spirit King said faintly, "Nothing much. I just think that my clansmen have a chance of winning. Our selection hall doesn't seem to have a rule on the number of participants from each race, right?" His voice sounded a little strange. His words were sometimes high-pitched and sometimes low-pitched. It was very uncomfortable to listen to.
Lie Yan still wanted to say something, but she saw the Fire Spirit King's gaze. She could only suppress her anger. She was also extremely confident in her little sister, not to mention that there was still Ji Dong.
When the representatives of the three races walked out, the representatives of the other races who were confident also walked out. Without any exception, those who dared to walk out from the crowd were all equivalent to Class 10 Magical Beasts or above.
Just from the aura they emitted, Ji Dong could tell that they were probably the core elders. Including Ji Dong and the others, there were a total of thirty-eight people that walked out.
The Fire Puppet King that Ji Dong killed in the end was not enough to become a core elder. Aside from the Fire Owl King, the other thirty-five core elders actually walked out. The position of the acting leader of the Flaming Bar Holy Church was too attractive. They all planned to fight for it.
After not seeing each other for a long time, the peak experts of the core world were all cultivating hard. Everyone was confident in themselves.
Ji Dong, Fury, and Ah Jin walked out at the same time.
When the core elders saw that three people from the Fire Puppet Clan had actually walked out at the same time, there was no mocking laughter. However, thirty-five disdainful gazes landed on them at the same time.
The Fire Puppet Clan also wanted to fight for the position of the acting leader? This was simply the biggest joke in the world. Almost every core elder had the same thought in their hearts.
As for the three Exalted Grand Elders in the sky, aside from the impulsive Fire Lotus King Lie Yan, the other two would not care about the puny Fire Puppet Clan. In their eyes, a weak race sending so many people to participate in the competition was just asking to be humiliated. Furthermore, it was the infamous Fire Puppet Clan. The experts of the other races would definitely not show any mercy to them.
The Fire Spirit King swept his gaze around and confirmed the number of people. He said indifferently, "There are a total of fifty-two participants. Let's split into groups and draw lots."
Before he finished speaking, the three Exalted Grand Elders frowned at the same time. They looked towards the deep hole at the entrance of the fifteenth floor.
A fiery-red figure suddenly passed through the entrance and entered the fifteenth floor.
The Fire Demon King snorted coldly and a shocking scene appeared. The Fire Demon King, who was over twelve meters tall, waved his right hand casually and a huge golden palm with a diameter of over ten meters appeared in the sky. At that moment, it seemed like all the fire elements in the entire space had condensed into this palm. The figure that had charged through the entrance didn't even have a chance to struggle before it was grabbed by the Fire Demon King's palm and stopped in mid-air.
The Fire Demon King's palm, which was condensed from energy, was in the form of energy and was transparent. Hence, although the red figure that had suddenly appeared was grabbed, it could still be clearly seen.
Ji Dong's pupils contracted slightly. The red figure that had suddenly appeared was actually a Six-Armed Flame Owl Overlord.
The Fire Demon King's ice-cold soul ripples reverberated in the air. "Puny Flame Owl, how dare you disrupt the ceremony? I'll give you a chance to explain yourself. Tell me, why did you barge in so rashly?"
The Fire Spirit King and the Fire Lotus King couldn't help twitching their mouths after hearing what it said. Given their understanding of the Fire Demon King, if it wasn't a Flame Owl that had attached itself to the Fire Demon Clan, it would have been crushed to death by the Fire Demon King. There wouldn't even be a chance to explain itself!
"Great Fire Demon Supreme Elder, you have to seek justice for the Flame Owl Clan. My death is not to be regretted, but the revenge of the Flame Owl Clan will depend on you.
Although the Flame Owl Overlord was terrified, he immediately wailed when he saw that he was in the hands of the Fire Demon King.
The Fire Demon King furrowed his brows and said, "Speak quickly. My patience is limited. What happened to the Flame Owl Clan?"
The Flame Owl Overlord hurriedly said, "It's like this. Three Supreme Elders, three months ago, one of our Flame Owl Clan's emissaries went to the Fire Crow Clan to send the token to participate in the ceremony. Who knew that when he came back, only two of his subordinates were left. Our Overlord was actually killed."
The Fire Spirit King snorted coldly and said, "What are you saying? The Fire Crow Clan can kill your Flame Owl Overlord?"
The Owlfire Lord hurriedly said, "I heard that the Fire Crow Clan colluded with outsiders, and it seemed to be humans from the outside world. That's why they killed our Lord. When he obtained this news, our Lord Owlfire King immediately led over a thousand elites of his clan to the 2nd level to inquire about the situation. But who would have imagined that they never returned. I stayed behind to hold down the fort in the clan, and I sent a few waves of people to investigate the situation. But without exception, not a single one returned. Something big must have happened to the Fire Crow Clan, and my Owlfire Clan's elites have probably fallen. I ask the three Supreme Exalted Elders to uphold justice for us!"
The Fire Demon King waved his hand and let go of the Flame Owl Overlord, allowing it to spread its wings and hover in midair. At the same time, its eyes that were hidden within the blazing flames swept towards the direction of the elders.
Ji Dong's vision was shocking, and coupled with the strength of his soul, he could vaguely see that the Fire Demon King's eyes were actually one black and one gold. They were hidden within the flames and flickered with a cold brilliance.
"Is the Fire Raven King here?" The Fire Demon King's icy voice caused the heads of the various clans to feel a chill in their hearts.
If Ji Dong didn't make a sound at this moment, no one would be able to point out that he was the one controlling the Fire Crow Clan. However, he didn't choose to remain silent.
"I am," Ji Dong took a step forward as he spoke and stared straight at the Fire Demon King in the air. He didn't dodge at all.
"Hm?" The Fire Demon King's gaze shifted, and the group of earthly experts only felt two cold bolts of lightning shoot out from the Fire Demon King's eyes, landing directly on Ji Dong's body. A powerful soul scan that was so arrogant that it didn't even try to hide itself.
Ji Dong calmly allowed it to scan him. The strength of his soul was contained within the Godfire Saint King Armor, so the Fire Demon King could only scan his rank 80 + magical power. Unless both sides truly fought, it wouldn't be difficult for Ji Dong to conceal his saint rank soul with his current level of soul cultivation.
"As expected, you borrowed external power. You're actually a human. However, do you think that you alone can lead the Fire Crow Clan to destroy the Fire Owl Clan?" A powerful pressure instantly descended along with the undulation of the soul. Ji Dong only felt that the air around him had instantly solidified, and he couldn't communicate with any fire elements at all.
That powerful pressure was exactly the same as when he faced the ancestor of the Earth Dragon. The Fire Lotus King was right, this Fire Demon King's cultivation had already reached the level of a high level saint rank.
"That's right, it's me. According to the rules of the Holy Flaming Bar, even if I'm a human, as long as I have the token to participate in the ceremony, I can participate in this ceremony. Am I right, Fire Demon King Supreme Elder?"
Other than the Fire Lotus King, all the earthly experts looked at Ji Dong with an extremely strange gaze. They all knew that the Fire Demon King had a violent temper that could explode at any time. To the earthly experts, Ji Dong actually dared to go against it so directly. To them, this was completely an act that he was tired of living.
The Fire Demon King felt that Ji Dong's magical power level was a little strange. It wasn't that no human had ever come to the core world before, but it was already a thousand years since someone was able to come to the fifteenth floor. Moreover, this human gave him a feeling that he couldn't see through.
"Tell me, how did you harm the Fire Owl Clan?" The Fire Demon King's dignified voice was filled with an unquestionable tone.
Ji Dong said indifferently, "I didn't harm anyone, the Fire Owl Clan brought this upon themselves. As the saying goes, 'the evil that you brought upon yourself is the hardest to bear'. I'm sure the three Supreme Elders know that every time the Holy Church holds a ceremony, the powerful clans will go to some weaker clans to seize the token to participate in the ceremony so that more clans can participate. The Fire Owl Overlord's envoy came to the Fire Raven Clan to do that. The Fire Raven Clan didn't allow it, so he used his own strength to threaten them. At that time, the Fire Raven Clan had already submitted to me, so I naturally had to take action for the Fire Raven Clan. Thus, I killed him. After the Fire Owl King found out about this, not only did he not reflect on himself, he even personally led over a thousand elites of the Fire Owl Clan to the second floor of the geocentric core in an attempt to exterminate the Fire Raven Clan. Could it be that we could only resign ourselves to death? Could it be that the Holy Church of the Flaming Bar didn't have a rule that the higher clans couldn't easily descend upon the lower clans? They wanted to kill us, so we were only defending ourselves. What's wrong with that? Not to mention harming them. If we didn't kill them, we would be the ones dying. We had no choice but to take action. "
