Xiao Lingyu reckoned that the happiest person would be the one who had just sold the token to him. He had picked up three million demonic crystals for free, and he still had the chance to enter the independent space.
Xiao Lingyu wasn't depressed because he had lost three million demonic crystals for no reason, but because he had no choice but to accept the challenges of others.
"Now, take out your tokens and open your palms. Place your tokens in the center of your palms." The old man saw that no one responded, so he continued.
No one dared to dawdle, and they all did as they were told.
The old man waited for ten breaths of time, then waved his sleeves again, and countless black demonic lights descended from the sky.
The demonic lights seemed to have grown eyes, and they all fell into the tokens. Then, a shocking scene occurred. All the cultivators who held the tokens were enveloped by a black mist. No matter what they did, they couldn't disperse the black mist.
"Alright, all of you can go out and accept the challenge. If you lose, the demonic mist on your body will be transferred to the person who defeated you along with the token. Of course, if you lose, you can also go and challenge others. Perhaps you can even obtain the qualifications to enter the independent space again."
After the old man finished speaking, he disappeared in midair.
Everyone left the valley one after another, and most of them were nervous, especially those who weren't very strong.
The demonic mist was only a mark, and it didn't bring any benefits or disadvantages to anyone. Moreover, it couldn't conceal a cultivator's appearance. Everyone was enveloped by the demonic mist in the valley, so they didn't feel anything. However, after leaving the valley, they realized that the demonic mist on their bodies was too eye-catching.
"If you can challenge a cultivator enveloped by the demonic mist and win, you can obtain a token within the top forty thousand!"
After all the cultivators left the valley, a deep voice spread in all directions, and it rang out three times in a row.
This news quickly spread. Countless cultivators who were under the Mysterious Demon Realm and didn't rank within the top forty thousand rubbed their palms together and looked everywhere for cultivators who were enveloped by the demonic mist.
Cultivators who were enveloped by the demonic mist couldn't hide at all, because the demonic mist had an extremely strong and special aura. It was extremely easy for cultivators to detect it.
Even Xiao Lingyu was unable to restrain or suppress this demonic fog, let alone the other cultivators. Everyone could only accept the challenges of others.
Xiao Lingyu knew that she couldn't hide, so she didn't bother hiding. She simply found a random hill and stood there, waiting for others to come over and beat her up.
There were at least several million cultivators below the Black Demon Realm on the Immortal Slayer Continent, and only forty thousand of them had demonic fog on them. Therefore, no matter who it was, they could not avoid being challenged. Xiao Lingyu was the same. At this moment, there were no less than a hundred people gathered around him.
First, a cultivator in the Middle-stage Spirit Demon Realm was sent flying by his kick. Then, another cultivator in the Late-stage Spirit Demon Realm was almost killed by the Demonic Palm of Rending Baby. Then, another expert in the Late-stage Spirit Demon Realm was blasted into nothingness by the Chaotic Demonic Seal. None of the hundreds of people around Xiao Lingyu dared to charge at him. Most of them wisely walked away to look for weaker opponents.
After that, people came to challenge him one after another. Not only was no one able to defeat Xiao Lingyu, but none of them could even last two rounds.
Over time, everyone knew that there was an extremely powerful cultivator on a certain hill. Therefore, the number of people who came to challenge him decreased. After all, there were forty thousand targets. No one would specifically pick a powerful character to challenge.
Not only did the cultivators who did not have a token know that there was a powerful character here, but even the cultivators who accepted challenges all day long knew that there was an existence here that they could not afford to provoke.
Gradually, Xiao Lingyu's side quieted down. Occasionally, some ignorant people would come to challenge him, but he would only use one move.
No one knew how long the challenges would last because no one knew when the entrances to the four independent spaces would appear.
With that valley as the center, the area within tens of thousands of miles had always been very lively. While millions of cultivators wandered around, they fought fiercely over the tokens.
Many cultivators had just defeated their opponents and obtained the tokens, but in the next moment, they were defeated by others and had no choice but to fight again.
It was very normal for a token to change owners seven or eight times in a day. Some could even change owners up to a hundred times in a day.
The battle was too intense, and most of the time, the situation was very chaotic. Many cultivators lost their lives because of the slightest carelessness.
No one would care if they lost their lives in a battle. They deserved to die.
There were also many extremely powerful cultivators who, after ruthlessly killing a few challengers, became idle like Xiao Lingyu and became an existence that everyone could not afford to provoke.
In this way, those who could last until the end were definitely the strongest cultivators below the Profound Demon Realm.
However, this seemingly fair challenge was actually very unfair. For example, the disciples of some large factions would be surrounded by many of their own people. No one dared to challenge them at all, although those surrounding them would not help.
Those large factions would also send out powerful cultivators to challenge others. Once the challenge was successful, they would return and transfer the tokens to their own sect members. Then, they would go out and continue to challenge others.
This caused the tokens to gradually flow into the hands of those large factions. After all, those large factions were rich and the elites they cultivated were all outstanding people in the same realm.
When those large factions of the Devil Realm and several big shots decided on the challenge rules, they had already thought of the current situation. This was also what they were happy to see. Naturally, they would not interfere.
In the past, the large factions of the Devil Realm would still create independent spaces in the barrier between the two realms and share a piece of the pie with other small and medium-sized factions. But this time, there were only four independent spaces. Firstly, they did not want to reduce the number of people they could enter the independent spaces. Secondly, they felt that this time was unusual. So, they made such a seemingly fair but actually extremely unfair decision.
But soon, those small and medium-sized factions also reacted. They quickly gathered their people and surrounded their disciples who had tokens.
Most of the cultivators who could be recommended had a background. Only a very small number of them had no background. These people and those who did not have a strong background became the target of public criticism.
The small and medium-sized factions prioritized self-preservation, but those large factions continued to send out top experts below the Mystic Demon stage to challenge others …
Xiao Lingyu's peaceful days had come to an end. After all, there were millions of people who did not have tokens. They did not dare to provoke those large and medium-sized factions. Naturally, they could only focus their attention on the small factions and some individual cultivators.
Almost every day, Xiao Lingyu had to defeat a few people in succession before he could scare a group of people away. Then, the next day, he would be surrounded by countless cultivators again.
Fortunately, those big shots and great powers of the Devil Dimension had a rule that any challenge could only be a one on one battle and not a group attack. Otherwise, even if it was Xiao Lingyu, facing the siege of thousands of cultivators, it would probably not be easy.
After many small factions' tokens were snatched, they organized themselves to Xiao Lingyu's side. Their disciples rushed up one after another, trying to wear down Xiao Lingyu's strength. Unfortunately, no matter how many people came to challenge him, Xiao Lingyu still stood firmly on the mountain top.
Over time, more and more cultivators came to know about Xiao Lingyu. There were even many cultivators above the Mystic Demon stage who came to check it out. This was because many people reported that the cultivator on the mountain top was not below the Mystic Demon stage.
When the Demon Monarch experts came, they could not see Xiao Lingyu's true cultivation. Naturally, they did not dare to come over and ask, so they could only invite the Demon Emperor experts.
The Demon Emperor experts could sense Xiao Lingyu's realm. In the end, they confirmed that the cultivator on the mountain top was at the peak of the Late Spirit Demon stage. Everyone's doubts were dispelled.
Since he was only at the peak of the Late Spirit Demon stage, the fear in everyone's heart lessened a lot. Gradually, more and more people dared to challenge him.
In order to protect their tokens, many small and medium-sized factions spread the news that Xiao Lingyu was invincible in the entire Devil Realm below the Mystic Demon stage. Naturally, many arrogant elites of large factions were not convinced, and they came to challenge him one after another.
Xiao Lingyu was very patient. He did not want to add more hatred to himself, so every time he attacked, he would try his best to restrain himself. If he could easily defeat his opponents, he would not hurt them. If he had to hurt them, he would not take their lives.
But in the end, he found that the more he was like this, the more people dared to challenge him. There were even people who had been defeated by him shamelessly came to challenge him again, which made him very angry.
Not long after, the cultivators who came to challenge Xiao Lingyu came one after another. As soon as they were defeated, the next one would immediately rush up. Xiao Lingyu did not have any time to rest or recuperate.
"I don't know when the entrances to the four independent spaces will appear. If I keep being challenged like this, even I will be exhausted sooner or later. I have to teach these guys a lesson!"
Xiao Lingyu was very angry, and his body was already surging with killing intent.
"I'm Song Yi. I'm also here to challenge you. But brother, you have fought several battles in a row. You must have consumed a lot of energy, so I'll give you ten minutes to rest. After that, we will fight again." A young-looking cultivator flew to the mountain top and said with a calm expression.
Looking at the young cultivator's expression, Xiao Lingyu felt very disgusted. The battle had not yet started, but the other party already seemed to have won.
"No need. It's just a matter of one move. It doesn't matter if I rest or not." Xiao Lingyu said in a more confident and disdainful tone.
"Then you must be careful. I, Song Yi, will take your token today!"
Song Yi's voice fell, and his body flashed in front of Xiao Lingyu with a strong momentum, as if he was as fast as lightning.
"I'll use you as an example to others!"
