Seven days later, the Devil-Slaying Competition began.
The City Lord's Mansion provided the ground in the core area of Great Might City, and the General's Mansion was in charge of it.
It was like a colosseum, where many demonic beasts and demons were imprisoned.
They were officially the targets of the Devil-Slaying Competition.
"Everyone, the purpose of this Devil-Slaying Competition is to select talents for the Imperial City. We will select experts from the small border cities around Great Might City to participate in the Devil-Slaying Competition. This is also to show that we treat talents equally."
General He Ding personally spoke on the platform.
Beside him were the City Lord's Mansion's Mansion Bu Changqing and the Imperial City's envoy.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, angry roars of demonic beasts came from below. These demonic beasts had been starving for more than ten days in order to strengthen their wildness and burst out with greater combat power to increase the difficulty of the challenge.
"Looks like the demonic beasts can't resist their hunger anymore. Everyone, get ready!"
He Ding returned to his seat after he finished speaking.
An old man from the City Lord's Mansion stepped forward to preside over the meeting.
"Challengers, please enter the arena!"
Following his voice, the challenger teams entered the arena.
They were the City Lord's Mansion, the General's Mansion, and the Martial Pavilion. Each force had three teams of three people.
"The first challenger team is the first team of the Martial Pavilion."
"Great, great!"
Hearing that a team was about to enter the arena, countless experts cheered. The Devil-Slaying Competition was a special mission given by the Imperial City this year, and its importance was self-evident.
The people of the Martial Pavilion were all strong and looked like hunters, which made them suitable for fighting against demonic beasts.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
The three of them flew into the colosseum. In front of each of them was a stone path, and at the end of the stone path was a passage for cages, which imprisoned violent demonic beasts.
"Open the cages!"
Following the old man's order, the guards below opened the cages.
"Roar!"
Immediately, the roars of demonic beasts came from three directions. They were too hungry, and all of them were Body Integration Realm experts.
"Human bastards, let me out!"
The Body Integration Realm demonic beasts had developed intelligence and could speak.
Facing the three violent demonic beasts, the three experts of the Martial Pavilion nodded at each other and prepared to fight.
Kacha, kacha, kacha!
With three crisp sounds, the formation chains imprisoning the three demonic beasts were opened.
"Dong, dong, dong!"
The three demonic beasts charged towards the three of them as if they had gone mad. They wanted to devour human blood.
"Roar!"
The roar shook the sky, and the stench of blood assaulted them. The three powerhouses of the Martial Pavilion revealed serious expressions.
Ye Chen and the other two stood below the prison, waiting to fight.
"Ancestor, how do you feel?"
"As expected, this arena has severely suppressed my cultivation." The old ancestor said.
"Yes."
Ye Chen nodded. It was just as Bu Zhangqing had said. It seemed like the Spirit Emperor's age restriction was true. However, Ye Chen still did not understand the purpose behind this.
"Ancestor, you should go up and take a look."
"Ha, then I won't stand on ceremony. I wish the two of you all the best."
After saying that, the Old Ancestor flew to the high platform.
Ye Chen's eyes were sharp as he looked at the center of the arena. The three Demonic Beasts had already surrounded the three people from the Martial Pavilion.
Although the expressions of the three of them did not change, their auras were already suppressed.
"Master, it looks like the three of them are going to be devoured by the demonic beasts."
"Looks like Great Might City is not our final destination."
Ye Chen's eyes were sharp as he looked at the high platform where the envoy from the Imperial City was sitting.
At a glance, Ye Chen noticed that the envoy was surrounded by a layer of strange runes. It was extremely difficult to see through their cultivation base.
"The Spirit Realm's Imperial City, the Spirit Emperor!"
Through Bu Zhangqing, Ye Chen already knew that the most powerful person in the Spirit Realm was the Spirit Emperor.
"Roar!"
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!"
"Ah …"
In the blink of an eye, painful roars could be heard. The three people from the Martial Pavilion had already become food for the Demonic Beasts.
Although their cultivation base was also at the Fusion Stage, compared to the Demonic Beasts of the same level that had been starved for more than ten days, they were no match for them in terms of wildness or strength.
"Sigh!"
The Martial Pavilion Master revealed a disappointed look. He did not expect the first team to be so weak. This made him very embarrassed.
"The first team of the Martial Pavilion has failed!"
The old man announced the result.
On the high platform, the envoy from the Imperial City looked displeased. The first team had failed too quickly and miserably, making him suspicious of the teams below.
"Lord Envoy, don't worry. This is only the first team of the Martial Pavilion. There's still our General's Residence."
He Ding said with a smile.
"I hope the General's Residence won't let me down."
"Of course!"
Hearing this, He Ding was very happy. Now, he only wanted the people from the City Lord's Residence and the Martial Pavilion to die in the mouths of the Demonic Beasts.
"Roar!"
The Demonic Beasts below roared crazily, constantly tearing at the corpses of the three people from the Martial Pavilion. It was a tragic sight.
"Evil beast, how dare you!"
The people from the Martial Pavilion could not bear such humiliation. The second team stepped out.
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!"
The movement techniques of these three people were obviously much stronger than the other three. They each released a dart, aiming at the eyes of the three Demonic Beasts.
"Swoosh!"
Soon, the eyes of a Demonic Beast were hit by the dart, bleeding profusely on the spot.
"Roar!"
The Demonic Beast bared its teeth in anger.
"How dare you pull teeth from a tiger's mouth. Die!"
The Demonic Beast turned to look at the three people and rushed over in a frenzy. The blood fueled its bestial nature, and the desire to devour increased its strength by several times.
"Dong, dong, dong!"
The ground shook and the rocks cracked. The Demonic Beast was a black-furred saber-toothed tiger.
"Let's attack together!"
The three Fusion Stage cultivators looked at each other and took out their weapons.
"Roar!"
The Demonic Beast attacked furiously. It did not care who was its opponent and suppressed them in all aspects.
Meanwhile, the two Demonic Beasts at the side, after devouring the flesh and blood of the people from the Martial Pavilion, had a murderous gleam in their eyes. They opened their claws and had recovered a lot of vitality.
"The Feast of Massacre has begun."
The corners of the Demonic Beast's mouth curled up slightly. Its cold, snow-white teeth glowed with blood.
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!"
Just as everyone was exclaiming, the three Demonic Beasts attacked together and crushed the three cultivators.
Sharp claws slashed across and blood gushed out like a fountain.
"Ah!"
The screams of the human cultivators were chilling.
"They actually know Territory Power."
Ye Chen saw the truth from the Demonic Beasts' quick movements. They were using Territory Power. These Demonic Beasts were very powerful!
"Attack together, don't wait!"
The people from the Martial Pavilion shouted at the team above.
"This …"
When the people above saw this scene, they were put in a difficult position. They originally wanted to fight these three Demonic Beasts alone, but now …
Just as they were hesitating, the Martial Pavilion Master gave them a look, and the three of them could only attack.
"Hmm?"
Seeing this, the Imperial City Envoy looked displeased again.
