THERE WASNâT MUCH suspense when Yang Lujia fought in the Knockout Segment. He basically trampled every opponent he had faced. It had gone the same for Lin Diyu. If it were not for his masterâs participation in the elimination round, he would have emerged as the most talented one.
Who could defeat a God Emperor at the Seventh Level when everyone else was still below the God Emperor Realm?
Wang Lao was even frightened by Yang Lujiaâs battle prowess. The first time Yang Lujia fought with an opponent, he almost killed the latter with a single tap of his finger. Who the hell would be able to kill a God King that easily?
Even for him, the most he could do with one strike was severely injure a God King at his or her peak, but it would take him to take out all of his power in that strike. In comparison⦠he didnât even want to compare anymore. At that time, he felt like the world had something against him.
âIs it already over?â Yang Lujia said, his face twitching. He didnât know why, but after fighting for a while from Da Shenghou to Da Sishen, it felt like he always became sleepy. Apart from getting hungry, he only wanted to sleep.
Hence, he couldnât help but ask Fortuniel about the matter. It only said that the Supreme Heavenly Scripture he practiced was already at its peak. At the moment, it was even advancing to becoming a peak heaven-ranked scripture. This confused him. He didnât know if this was a good thing or not.
Nevertheless, he only wanted to go home and sleep.
Stretching his hand to accept the lousy heaven-ranked pills, he gave a casual glance at the two brothers. He then folded his arms and slowly pushed the one hundred pills ten by ten to his mouth. This reward was enough for someone to break through at most three levels in the God King Realm, yet this punk actually swallowed them like he was eating candies..
All the people present were once again dumbfounded by this turn of events.
Lin Diyuâs eyes, on the other hand, were shining as he stared at the pills he earned from fighting lousy opponents. He then shot a look at his master. âMaster! Master!â Without minding anyone in his way, he shuttled to his masterâs post. âMaster! Look! Iâve won some pills! I will give this to the master to eat! It seems like master likes to eat these circular things.â
Yang Lujia then grinned and drowsily patted his discipleâs shoulders. âI didnât raise you wrong. Give me the pills now and shove them into my mouth,â he said, dropping his jaw widely.
Lin Diyu felt eternally happy when his master praised him for doing well. He then hurriedly pushed the pills ten by ten until they were all eaten.
With a burp, Yang Lujiaâs eyes rolled towards his first disciple. âCome on. Letâs go home now. I want to sleep for a while.â
He really didnât get it. He felt dizzy and sleepy. As for what Fortuniel guessed, he didnât entirely believe it. After all, he had learned countless heaven-ranked scriptures, but he had never once felt like this. Although the Supreme Heavenly Scripture allowed him to cultivate while doing leisure things, he was not like thisâsomething like being forced to sleep or eat in order to cultivate.
There must be something wrong with him.
Or perhaps it had something to do with him being in the Realm of Death. He wasnât sure.
On the other hand, Wang Lao and Wang Zhu were wearing grave expressions after the elimination round.
âBig brother, I thought father said that those demons from the Northern Territory would cause trouble during the elimination round. However, they didnât. What exactly happened?â Wang Zhu felt skeptical.
Wang Laoâs face was also solemn. âI donât know exactly. I also thought the same. After all, it was the perfect time for them to strike. As they are always stronger than us, they could basically finish off all the God Emperors in the Eastern Territory. Even I donât stand a chance against one of their demon generalsâ¦â
Wang Zhu turned pale. âEven you, big brother, canât help them?â
âThis is why this is so strange; they didnât take the time to attack when all of us God Emperors were present,â Wang Lao said, both his clasped hands against his chin. âWang Zhu, you go and send a person from our city to Diabolos City as a spy. I know weâre weak, but we canât just sit down like bullied carps.â
âYes, big brother.â
âThe Annual Death Ceremony will happen in a month. With Cao Nima and Lin Diyu, I donât think we will lose. Moreover, that Cao Nima seemed to be hiding his true cultivation level. What was even more frightening was his age. He was only 15 years old? Who would believe that shit?â
Wang Zhu also faintly nodded. He had already gone numb with Cao Nimaâs surprises. Getting surprised wouldnât do him any good, anyhow. Besides, that Cao Nima seemed to be a nice person who wouldnât kill anyone he saw as irritating or, in general, he would not end anyoneâs life unreasonably.
âBrother, he really is 15 years old. Although the array formation on the outside didnât show the blue screen of his data, I knew that it was because other than his talent wasnât graded, other data could be seen on our recorded data.â
âSee? Thatâs so unreasonable!â Wang Lao whined, but later composed himself and said, âGo now. I donât want to talk about him. Remember, you suffered under his array formation. Fuck that! I still remember the second layer of that array formation that I broke. I suddenly got naked!â
âI also saw that, big brother.â
âWhy the fuck are you still here, bun-faced asshole!â Wang Lao shouted and coughed lightly while blushing. âPretend you didnât hear what I said.â
âYou actually blushed, big brother?â Wang Zhu was startled.
Wang Lao couldnât take anymore and directly kicked Wang Zhuâs butt out of the City Lord Mansion. âDonât go back until you forget what I said!â
Meanwhile, the four demon generals gathered in a large but eerie-filled hall were waiting for their lord to reappear. It was on this day that their lord told them to wait for him. At this moment, they had several things to report.
âWhy didnât we just attack directly?â Fierce Demon got exasperated. âItâs the perfect time to kill those God Emperors or make the others submit if they choose to live!â
Soul Demon shot him a glare. âYou do know my disciple went missing after that night when a bureau of the city got flattened, donât you? Do you think this matter is just as simple as you think? Besides, I have my eyes on them. You all donât have to worry. We will only wait for the lordâs orders. Without him, we couldnât rashly attack that city.â
Runic Demon was silent, and his eyes flashed with hesitation. âSoul Demon, is what you said true? Among the contestants in the elimination round you saw, there was a very strong competitor in their elimination round?â
Soul Demonâs eyes narrowed into slits. âYes, Runic Demon. I also found out that he was only 15 years old, and yet, his cultivation had already reached the Seventh Stage of the God Emperor Realm.â
Unknowingly, Yang Lujia got himself spotted by his not-supposed-to-be enemies.
âWhat?â Runic Demonâs eyes almost bulged out of his head. The same thing happened with the other two demons. He then asked another question, âWhatâs his name?â
âHeâs called Cao Nima.â
Speed Demon twitched the side of his mouth when he thought of the nameâs meaning. âWho named him like that?â
Fierce Demon also laughed at the strange name he heard.
On the other hand, Runic Demon, who was the smartest of them all, found this extremely peculiar. He then thought of a possibility. His gaze turned to the Soul Demon. His face was solemn. âWe shouldnât believe every piece of information we receive or see. I think that young man must be hiding something. We might have to reconsider attacking the city. Other than those monsters from the Central Domain, I couldnât think of a possibility for his origin. He might be sent by the Central Domain as a spy.â
The other threeâs faces darkened.
As the four contemplated what to do, the large door in the hall creaked open. A young man strutted his way towards them.
It was exactly their lord.
Hurriedly, they stood up and paid their respects to him.
But the young man just waved his right hand and asked with a grave face, âTell me, what were you talking about just now?â
