I Secretly Develop Myself In The Demon World-Chapter 670 - 355: Turning the Tables
Chapter 671: Chapter 355: Turning the Tables
The internal selection of the Skywolf Clan has begun, and many demons don’t hold much anticipation for this selection; the outcome seems predetermined, with little chance for surprises.
Many people were not focusing on the selection, but were rather more interested in the currently unfolding narrative of the demon clan.
“Not just us, the Heavenly and Earthly vitality is gradually recuperating, the other clans within this generation are also producing numerous top prodigies. Among the existing Ten Great Ancient Clans, each clan has several King-level prodigies, and there are even rumors that some have already begun trying to make the breakthrough to the emperor-level!”
“Is that true or false? The transition from King-level to Emperor-level represents a massive hurdle. Over thousands of years, there are countless demon kings who failed to advance even an inch, not even when blessed with the Emperor-level Ancient Demon Blood Essence. Can there really be someone who, after merely twenty to thirty years of cultivation, can step into the Emperor-level?”
“It’s certainly true! The competition in this Heavenly Demon Grand Ceremony will be unprecedentedly intense. Even those small clans which haven’t produced a King-level entity in thousands of years now have numerous Demon Kings born. Those qualified for this Heavenly Demon Grand Ceremony are, at least, King-level beings!”
“A golden age! This is the golden age of our demon clan! Although the ‘Outsiders’ from the Human Race grow at an astonishing rate, our demon clan is even stronger. This time, after the Heavenly Demon Grand Ceremony, our demon clan will surely reach a prosperous era once again!”
Su Nan arrived, hearing such discussions from afar, and he was incredibly startled.
A surge in prodigies? The golden age of the demon clan?
Inevitably, he recalled Du Qiyuan’s reference to the fourth catastrophe.
The Heavenly and Earthly vitality was recuperating, trapped demon beasts were breaking free, a comeback for the Heavenly Race seemed even possible with the dissemination of the Call Heaven Scripture, and now, the demon clan was reaching its golden age. All these signs indicated that the so-called fourth catastrophe was approaching!
“So what if the fourth catastrophe does arrive? My current foundation is already strong enough. Even if the catastrophe descends now, my current strength is sufficient for self-protection.”
Su Nan was not scared, he was even subtly looking forward to it.
His cultivation system was already established. The Great Sun Body Sutra had entered the second level, which was comparable to the King Level. His Bloodline Path was about to break through to the King Level. Once all three of his roles reached the King Level, even if faced with an emperor-level powerhouse, he could have a chance of killing it.
Besides, he had a Demon Race avatar infused with Innate Demon Qi, cultivating the forbidden Demon Scripture called the Sky Demon Devouring God Sutra. As long as he grasps the right opportunity, his strength would surely continue to skyrocket in the upcoming period of time.
Thinking of this, Su Nan felt a surge of confidence.
However, he quickly thought of something; his enthusiasm froze. He swiftly became alert.
“No! My strength is still lacking dramatically!”
“In this world, due to the disappearance of the Heavenly and Earthly vitality, the Emperor-level is the peak. But once the Heavenly and Earthly vitality fully recovers, Saint Level and even God Level beings will inevitably appear.”
“Especially the Demon Race. Among those suppressed demon beasts, many were Emperor Level and Saint Level. Once they break free, they will inevitably recover rapidly.”
“There’s not much time left for me. I must seize this opportunity while the Heavenly and Earthly vitality hasn’t fully recuperated, and most demon beasts are still trapped. I need to quickly enhance my strength.”
His thoughts whirling, Su Nan rapidly adjusted his attitude.
Accompanying the Great Princess, he came to the palace of the Heavenly Wolf Emperor again, where he was stopped, just like last time.
He didn’t mind, however, and waited outside the Grand Hall.
A moment later, the Great Princess emerged from the palace and gave him a nod.
“This selection will be conducted in a form of Arena Defence. Over two days, there will be three arenas in total, everyone has three chances to challenge the defender of an arena. Even if you fail in defending, you can still choose to challenge other arenas.”
“In the end, the three individuals who have successfully defended their arenas will be awarded the qualifications to participate in the Heavenly Demon Grand Ceremony.” The Great Princess explained the selection rules of the Skywolf Clan.
“Defending an arena? That works perfectly.”
Among Lang Thirteen’s three tasks excluding the one related to other players, one required him to defeat a King-level demon of the Skywolf Clan, and another required him to achieve a top three ranking.
If it were an elimination format, completing the two tasks would mean he would have to continuously battle against other demons, advancing through an elimination process to eventually make it onto the top three winners.
The arena challenge was much easier by comparison.
All he needed to do was to find a King-level demon as a defender and defeat it, which would complete the first task. Subsequently, when the selection was tottering to an end tomorrow, he could take action to clinch a spot in the top three, completing the second task.
An hour later.
On the arena, a youth was defeated by Su Nan, who was at the early stage of the King Level!
The task was readily completed. However, this situation caused astonishment among the other demons who were spectating.
“Where did this guy come from? He actually defeated Fourth Brother. How come I’ve never seen him before?”
“Peak of Xuan-level, he’s just at the peak of Xuan-level. How did he manage to defeat Fourth Brother?”
The Fourth Brother the demons were talking about was the youth who was defeated by Su Nan. He was the grandson of a King-level Peak Elder of the Skywolf Clan and was also a top prodigy among the younger generation of the Skywolf Clan.
“This is good too, I’m going to need to take action sooner or later. Now I’ve shown off my power a bit, it sort of warmed up the situation.” Su Nan didn’t want to draw attention, but the task was there, 45 Demon Power Points, it was worth his action.
“Cheating! This guy must have cheated.”
“Right, this guy must have used some unperceivable trick just now!”
Even though Su Nan’s moves were clearly observed by all the people there, many still cast doubt.
It’s not their fault. The gap between Xuan Stage and King Stage is huge; King-level beings can command the Power of Heaven and Earth. Normally, there’s absolutely no chance for a battle between different levels, let alone for the lower-level to win.
“I’ll challenge you, I refuse to believe you’re really this powerful!” A burly Wolf Demon jumped onto the arena and challenged Su Nan.
