Chapter 645 The Prodigies of the Three Clans, the Mastermind Behind the Scenes

Cang Jue never expected that participating in the Netherworld Palace trial on a whim would lead to such an interesting encounter.

The hatred between the demon race and the human race runs deep.

As the son of the Demon Lord, he grew up listening to his father's glorious deeds.

For example, with a wave of the hand, one could slaughter millions of human beings, collect countless resentful and deathly energies, and increase one's cultivation level.

For example, he single-handedly challenged more than ten Nascent Soul Realm cultivators from the human race. Not only did he not lose, but he also killed several Nascent Soul Realm experts, which made him a formidable figure throughout the Tianyuan Great World.

All of this led Cang Jue to deeply admire his father from a young age, and he always wanted to emulate his father, slaughtering humans as easily as cutting melons and vegetables, and annihilating thousands of humans with a wave of his hand.

However, for various reasons, both sides have maintained a degree of restraint in recent centuries, and intense conflicts have rarely broken out.

As a result, Cang Jue has cultivated to the point where, apart from the human slaves he keeps in his own territory, he has hardly ever seen any other humans.

But those human slaves were like pigs and dogs, and no matter how he tortured and killed them, they dared not put up the slightest resistance from beginning to end, which was particularly boring.

Cang Jue had always wanted to see for himself whether real human cultivators possessed the abilities rumored to exist.

However, his father strictly forbade him from leaving the demon territory, and even more so from going to the human territory.

Cang Jue still held his father, the Demon Lord, in high esteem.

So even though he was arrogant and fearless, he still dared not disobey his father's orders and secretly infiltrate the human territory.

I originally thought that I would only be able to realize this wish after the next conflict between the demon race and the human race broke out.

Unexpectedly, the Netherworld Palace Trial, which I participated in on a whim out of boredom, turned out to involve encountering human cultivators.

Thinking that his long-cherished wish was about to come true, Cang Jue couldn't help but show an excited smile.

"Are you willing to follow me and slaughter all the humans in this space?"

Cang Jue suddenly turned around and looked at the demons kneeling around him, speaking softly.

The surrounding demons were taken aback at first, but then they all perked up and shouted excitedly, "We are willing to follow Lord Cang Jue!"

……

boom!
With a deafening roar, the earth trembled, and boundless suppressive power descended upon a group of strangely shaped monsters, rendering them completely immobile.

Some of the weaker ones were even pinned to the ground, their bones creaking and cracking as if they were about to break.

"Have you submitted yet?"

A tall, stocky man with large earlobes and an elephant trunk on his face spoke calmly.

"We are convinced! We are willing to offer up our trial jade tokens, but please, sir, show mercy!"

The demons around them, who were suppressed and unable to move, hurriedly shouted loudly.

At the same time, I was extremely shocked.

None of them expected that what was merely a trial for the outer members of the Netherworld Palace would attract powerful members of the Elephant Clan to participate.

This is one of the twelve royal families of the demon race, and judging from the aura of this elephant race expert, he has definitely reached the level of the ninth level of demon core.

Why would such an exceptionally powerful expert participate in the Netherworld Palace's trials?

However, despite their shock, the demons dared not refuse to hand over the trial jade tokens they held.

Otherwise, the ever-increasing pressure from the body would be enough to crush them into a pulp.

After accepting dozens of trial jade talismans, the elephant-trunk-like man also looked into the distance.

"This time, the Netherworld Palace's trial has placed the strongest members of the three races in the same secret realm. What exactly are they planning to do?"

The elephant-trunk-like man recalled how he obtained the trial jade talisman and couldn't help but become wary.

He learned about the Netherworld Palace's trials by chance and, out of curiosity, wanted to come in and see for himself.

But now, he intuitively sensed something unusual.

I always feel like there's a giant hand behind me, controlling something.

After thinking for a while, the elephant-trunk man still couldn't figure out the reason, so he had to give up.

Now that he has entered this secret realm, he is caught in the middle of the situation and can only take it one step at a time.

He was confident that with his abilities, passing this trial shouldn't be too difficult.

……

Swish!
A flash of sword light cleaved the earth, leaving a deep, bottomless sword mark that exuded an incomparably sharp aura, causing dozens of cultivators to pale in fear.

"Hand over all the trial jade tokens you have. As fellow human cultivators, I have no intention of committing unnecessary killings."

A young man dressed in a star-patterned Taoist robe casually unleashed a sword light and then spoke calmly.

Beside him stood a veiled woman with a slender figure and a cool demeanor.

If Lu Qing were here, he would recognize that these two people were actually the Daoist Master of Daoxu Temple and the Holy Maiden of Biluo Palace, whom he had met in the secret realm of Tian Shu Divine Mountain.

Listening to the words of the young man in the star-patterned Taoist robe, and looking at the terrible cracks on the ground.

The expressions of the group of human cultivators changed several times, but in the end they had no choice but to hand over the trial jade talisman in their hands.

If they were outside, they might dare to protest, as the other side might not dare to slaughter their own kind indiscriminately because of the Holy Alliance.

But now they are in the trial space of the Netherworld Palace.

Here, no matter what happens, the Holy Alliance has no control over it.

Even if the other side really kills them all, the Holy Alliance probably won't care.

After collecting the trial jade tokens handed over by the cultivators, the Daoist disciple of Daoxu Temple handed half of them to the Holy Maiden of Biluo Palace who was standing to the side.

"Fairy Luo, everyone who sees this gets a share. Let's split it in half."

"No need. These trial jade tokens are your own, there's no need to share them with me."

The Holy Maiden of Biluo Palace did not respond, and said in a cold tone.

"Fairy Luo is still so formal." Daozi of Daoxu Temple chuckled. "We are both here to participate in the Netherworld Palace Trial on the orders of our master. The fact that we meet here means that we are destined to meet, so why be so polite?"

"This trial at the Netherworld Palace is clearly unusual," the Holy Maiden of the Azure Palace frowned. "To put people from all three races together in this space for a trial, what exactly is the Netherworld Palace's intention?"

More importantly, what was Master's intention in having her come to participate in this trial?
The Holy Maiden of Biluo Palace knew that her master seemed to have an unusual connection with Youming Palace.

The reason she was called here to participate in the trial was certainly not to harm her.

However, she felt uneasy until she understood the purpose of the Netherworld Palace.

"Why worry, Fairy Luo? With our combined strength, passing this trial will be no problem. Speaking of which, I've been wanting to see what makes the powerful demons and monsters so special. This is a good opportunity."

Compared to the worries of the Holy Maiden of Biluo Palace, the Daoist Master of Daoxu Temple seemed much more confident.

According to the information given by his master before he set off, this trial was limited to those at the Golden Core stage.

Since that's the case, with his and Fairy Luo's strength, if the two of them join forces, it's likely that no one in the entire trial space will be their match, so why worry too much?

"I have a feeling that things aren't that simple," the Holy Maiden of Biluo Palace said, still frowning.

“Regardless, we’re already here, there’s no turning back. Let’s finish this trial first. Once we pass it, the Netherworld Palace’s purpose will surely become clear,” said Daozi of Daoxu Temple.

"That's true." The Holy Maiden of Biluo Palace nodded slightly.

There is truly no other way but to pass this trial.

"Since Fairy Luo doesn't want these trial jade tokens, then when you encounter the next batch of cultivators, their trial jade tokens can be yours."

"No need to trouble you, I'll handle it myself."

"Then I'll just have to watch the fairy's magnificent figure..."

The two walked further and further apart, following the guidance in the trial jade talisman, heading towards the next location where white dots gathered.

Similar things happened in many places within this secret realm.

Lu Qing was unaware that, for some reason, many geniuses from various races had entered the Netherworld Palace's outer circle trial this time.

However, through the virtual space within the trial jade talisman, he noticed that several white dots in the trial space suddenly converged and were constantly moving.

He pondered for a moment and immediately realized that someone had begun collecting trial jade tokens in large quantities.

The fact that these people were able to collect so many trial jade tokens so quickly means that they must be much stronger than the others around them.

"It's just a trial to recruit peripheral members, how come so many top experts suddenly appeared?"
Or is the allure of becoming a peripheral member of the Netherworld Palace really that great?

A sense of doubt arose in Lu Qing's heart.

However, he knew that if he didn't act soon, he would fall behind others.

After all, judging from the white dots on the trial jade talisman, there are at least several thousand powerful individuals participating in this trial.

Now, dozens of people have finished collecting the trial jade tokens around them and are moving on to other places.

Moreover, he was also interested in the powerful members of the demon and monster races and wanted to see them for himself.

Thinking of this, Lu Qing immediately stopped hesitating.

With a single step, a chilling sword intent emanated from his body, suppressing all directions.

In an instant, the Golden Core cultivators around felt a chill run through their bodies, as if countless sword energies were pressing against their foreheads. The aura of death arose from the depths of their hearts, making them stiff and unable to move.

Even the Golden Core Realm experts who had just finished competing for the trial jade talisman were the same.

Completely stunned by the sword intent emanating from Lu Qing, they stared at him in shock.

I don't want to say anything more.

Facing the astonished gazes of dozens of Golden Core Realm cultivators around him, Lu Qing spoke calmly.

"Hand over all the trial jade tokens you have."

Looking at Lu Qing, who was wearing a ghost mask and a black cloak, they felt the terrifying sword intent emanating from him that almost tore their souls apart.

Even those Golden Core cultivators around who wanted to resist could only give up in despair.

There is no way, the strength gap is too big.

The person in front of them was at least a top expert at the ninth level of the Golden Core stage, completely on a different level from them.

As for uniting? We don't know each other, who would dare to entrust their back to strangers?

What if you get stabbed in the back then?

In that case, it would be better to just admit defeat.

In the end, all the Golden Core cultivators had no choice but to hand over their trial jade tokens.

Lu Qing didn't stand on ceremony and put them all away.

He calculated that there were more than thirty Golden Core Realm experts here, which meant that he had obtained more than thirty Trial Jade Tokens.

This number isn't small, but compared to what's shown in the Trial Jade Talisman, it ranks after the fiftieth.

To pass the trial, he must travel to other places to collect more.

Without delay, Lu Qing transformed into a streak of light and took flight, heading towards the nearest white dot according to the location shown in the trial jade talisman.

Before leaving, he left a message: "I advise you, if you don't want to die, you'd better find a place to hide. This trial is not as simple as you think. Don't end up not even knowing how you died."

Watching Lu Qing's departing figure, the remaining Golden Core cultivators exchanged bewildered glances.

His last words, in particular, sent a chill down their spines.

They already felt that this trial in the Netherworld Palace was somewhat strange.

Now that even such an unfathomable expert is saying this, it's clear that the other party has sensed something unusual.

Thinking of this, the group of Golden Core Realm experts immediately began to consider countermeasures.

"It finally begins."

Just as Lu Qing flew towards the other white dots closest to him.

In a mysterious space, inside a grand hall, there were more than a dozen mysterious figures looking at a screen of light in front of them.

If Lu Qing were here, he would recognize one of them as the man wearing the ghost mask who had greeted them.

The first thing shown on the light screen was the current situation of the many trial participants in the trial space.

Among them was his figure in flight.

"These trial participants probably didn't expect that so many experts at the ninth level of the Golden Core stage would come to this trial. I really want to see their expressions when they meet later."

One of the figures gloated.

He wore a ferocious beast mask on his face.

"Who could have imagined that a trial for ordinary peripheral members would turn out like this? Even the Nascent Soul experts of those three races probably couldn't have predicted it."

Another figure wearing a fox mask spoke, her voice alluring, seemingly a woman.

"This trial was orchestrated by that great man behind the scenes. How could the native primordial spirits of this Tianyuan Great World possibly withstand his schemes?"

Another voice sounded.

When he mentioned that person, the dozen or so mysterious figures couldn't help but shudder and straighten their backs slightly.

It seemed that he was some extraordinary being; even if he wasn't there, just mentioning his name was enough to make them show awe.

After a silence of more than ten breaths, someone asked in confusion, "Speaking of which, given that person's status and position, why would they need to intervene in such a small-scale trial for peripheral members?"

"How could we possibly fathom the thoughts of such beings?" the voice said. "However, the news from above seems to indicate that the lord suddenly had a whim to take on another disciple, hence this trial."

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, the other dozen or so mysterious figures all trembled violently.
