In the side palace of the castellan of Prairie Fire City, Yi Tian could only sigh in the face of the sudden change. He didn't expect cultivators from other races to participate, so the competition for the 10 spots would be very intense.
Yan Tong, who was standing beside him, was naturally aware of this matter. Immediately, his expression became unusually ugly. In terms of strength, he was at the bottom of the Avatar Stage late stage.
Cultivators like Yi Tian looked like Avatar Stage early stage, but their true strength was far beyond that. Looking at the crowd, there seemed to be quite a few Avatar Stage late stage cultivators. If there were still 10 spots, he wouldn't even be able to get a ticket.
After a while, someone walked out from the back of the hall and sat down in the main seat. This person had a dignified face and looked to be around 30 years old. His devilish aura was completely withdrawn. However, from the aura he emitted, he was undoubtedly a Body Integration Stage cultivator.
He glanced at the people standing in front of him and quickly swept his gaze over them. His gaze paused on a few Deity Transformation cultivators and then passed by them.
Yi Tian discovered that when the City Lord finally turned his gaze towards him, he stared at him for a full ten breaths before moving his gaze away. Not long after, the city lord said in an extremely calm tone, "Welcome to all the Demon Race elites for participating in the Glass Flame Cold Kiln selection. This old man, Yan Lei, will be the witness for this selection."
He didn't speak loudly, but everyone's face was solemn. Naturally, no one dared to speak in front of a Body Integration Stage cultivator. Then he continued, "This time, the Glass Flame Cold Kiln is different from the past. There are many cultivators, so we need to filter them. My Flame Prison Devil Race will take half of the spots. The remaining five spots will be distributed by the other races according to their strength."
After he spoke, many people began to whisper to each other. They didn't expect there to be 10 spots this time. Many Soul Formation Stage cultivators showed impatient expressions. As for the Soul Formation Stage guards behind them, they showed hesitation. They lowered their heads and began to discuss with each other through voice transmission.
After a while, a Flying Rakshasa cultivator walked up slowly and took out a jade slip. He held it in his hand and said to Yan Lei, "Senior, we are here to participate in the election under the orders of our clan leaders. Here is a jade slip for you. Please take a look at it first, City Lord. "
Yan Lei's expression turned solemn. He didn't need to read it to know that the contents of the jade slip were nothing more than the various clans wanting to take advantage of the situation. However, he couldn't do anything about it. After all, the other six Demon Emperors had joined forces to pressure Flaming Prison Demon Emperor.
If it wasn't handled properly, it was very likely that it would cause a huge burden to the Demon Emperor in the future. Yan Lei stretched out his hand and grabbed the jade slip. After checking it with his Divine Sense, he said, "Alright, since that's the case, we'll decide the quota based on strength. Eight slots for the Lava Pool and two slots for the Heart of Lava to obtain fire. The selection method will be based on the number of times each person has sounded the Heavenly Survey Gong. The top eight Deification Stage cultivators will be chosen, and the top two Deification Stage cultivators will be chosen. "
After hearing this, everyone's expressions changed. Those who wanted to temper their movement techniques were all Deification Stage juniors. Some of these people were relying on the help of high-grade cultivators, but when faced with such a situation, they all revealed hesitant expressions.
Seeing these people's expressions, Yan Lei's gloomy expression swept away. He said, "Because the two paths are in different locations, they won't disturb each other. Thus, the young clan leaders' guards won't need to go in."
This one sentence blocked their reinforcements. Even the fourth prince and seventh prince's expressions became unnatural. They had always been pampered and had never experienced such a situation. They had never come into contact with the top cultivators of the same generation.
Now that Yan Lei wanted them to face them directly, their expressions naturally didn't look good. Yi Tian swept his gaze over the cultivators present. Most of them were Deification Stage guards. There were very few who truly wanted to go, but there were at least seven or eight people, including himself.
From the looks of it, at least half of the people here had to be eliminated. Yan Tong, who was behind him, said softly with a voice transmission, "Daoist Yi, let's advance and retreat together this time. If anyone fails to obtain a spot, the other person will help to light the fire."
He secretly sized up Yan Tong in his heart. He seemed to have a bit of expectation for Yan Tong's strength. In the end, he was only interested in the other two bottles of Returning Sun Water.
After thinking about it, he faintly smiled and replied, "Since Fellow Daoist Yan has such plans, how could I refuse? Let's discuss it after the test."
Just as he said this, Yan Lei pointed to the right and a ripple of spirit patterns appeared. After the invisible light wave expanded to a height of thirty feet, a huge frame was faintly discernible. In the middle of the frame was a copper gong with a diameter of over ten feet.
He smiled and said, "If you want to go, come up and sound the copper gong. No matter what method you use, it will be fine. Based on the number of times, only the top eight will be chosen. Everyone only has one chance. "
With that said, Yan Lei waved his hand and two groups of soldiers walked out from the back palace. They were led by the devil generals and sealed off the area around the Heavenly Survey Gong. Then the soldiers formed hand seals and set up a barrier around the area to prevent anyone from cheating.
Many of the cultivators present felt their faces twitch. They didn't expect the city lord to be so ruthless. He had killed all of their plans in the cradle.
The Deification Stage cultivators looked around, but no one was willing to test the waters. Even the two princes were gnashing their teeth, but they couldn't do anything to Yan Lei.
Shaoqing heard the city lord say, "Why are all the young geniuses so afraid when it's your turn to act? You've truly disappointed this old man. You youngsters really can't make it."
Just as he finished speaking, a shout came from the crowd. "I'll try and see what's so special about the Heavenly Survey Gong of the Flame Prison Devil Clan."
Following that person's voice, it was the Divine Transformation cultivator from the Heavenly Devil Clan. Yi Tian's divine sense moved and he said to Yan Tong, "He should be the first to pass."
"Is that so? This person is the young master of the Heavenly Devil Clan, Dugu Yuchen. I wonder if he is stronger than the two princes," Yan Tong replied.
"You'll know if he's strong or not." Yi Tian's mouth twitched, but he was inwardly shocked. The Heavenly Devil Clan's royal family had the surname Dugu. The Heavenly Devil Sect on the Heavenly Wave Continent was naturally a descendant of the royal family. No wonder they could cultivate the Heavenly Devil Transformation.
Dugu Yuchen walked into the boundary and stood in front of the Sky Survey Gong. Then, he took a deep breath and his spiritual pressure rose to the late stage of Deity Transformation. Then, he punched the Sky Survey Gong with both fists, which made a crisp sound.
