From the waste of spiritual roots to the practice of asking the devil.

The Devouring God World, the Ancient Colosseum.

The banquet was held on a floating island above the arena, where every piece of ground was paved with polished and carved spirit jade.

The pavilions and waterside terraces are scattered in a well-organized manner, and the palaces and buildings are grand and magnificent. The glazed tiles reflect the sun's brilliance, and the dazzling lights make it seem as if you have entered a fairyland on earth.

This layout and architectural style are in no way inferior to the craftsmanship of human builders, showing that even the demons, deep down, also yearn for enjoyment.

This is the desire of living beings, and no one can avoid it.

at that time.

The ancient arena below has already produced many strange beasts with compressed bodies. These beasts are essentially of the same kind as the demon race.

However, if one does not pursue the path of transformation and enlightenment, but instead continuously cultivates one's own bloodline, one's physique will grow larger and larger, except for a slight problem with intelligence.

In addition to being severely restricted by bloodline.

They are quite strong.

Among them, the top-tier savage beasts have the opportunity to transform into [Starry Sky Beasts] with strength comparable to True Immortal Realm cultivators. At this time, their intelligence will also return to normal, and they will truly possess the ability to think.

Because these giant beasts do not comprehend the laws, they cannot leave their mark on the Great Dao, and therefore cannot live as long as heaven and earth.

They are considered an inferior race by the demon race and are often used to pull carts.

They might be enslaved and forced to mine resources in dangerous locations, or like an ancient arena, provided with the most primal, bloody battles for the amusement of the "powerful and wealthy."

all in all.

The methods used by savage beasts to cultivate their bloodlines are very ancient and have been phased out by the cultivation world.

However, wild beasts are also treasures, especially those with high cultivation levels, which are rare and hard to come by. Almost every race in the universe tames a batch of them.

The Colosseum here is also a valuable architectural treasure.

In terms of quality, it can reach the level of a top-tier semi-divine artifact.

Many people have already arrived at the banquet on the floating island above, and many demons are standing on the edge, discussing who will come out on top.

When Wang Yuwan Huazhenyan Wang arrived.

He immediately attracted a lot of attention, after all, he was already quite famous and had played an important role in the growth of the sect.

Then it disappeared for a while.

With a touch of legend, it wouldn't be wrong to say that this banquet was held for the True Flame King, especially since he occupied the position of vice leader and was revered as the second most important person in the sect.

Upon appearing at this moment, he immediately became the target of public criticism!
"Is he the True Flame King? I heard that he had not yet reached the peak of Mahayana cultivation when he became famous, but now he has reached the Tribulation Transcending stage. Which fellow Daoist would like to step forward and give it a try?"

"—I'll do it!"

Among the richly dressed crowd, there stood a figure with a single horn on its head, covered in fine black scales, with sharp, black horn-like spikes growing from its elbows. It was over two meters tall and had a robust physique.

This is Xuan Ye, the prodigy of the "Black Demon Clan"!

The Black Demon Clan has produced more than one Demon Emperor. The clan has a strong foundation and produces many powerful figures. If the Flame Demon Clan at its peak could barely be considered a top-tier power.

Even though the Black Demon Clan was suppressed by the Blood Spirit Royal Family, it still firmly held its position as one of the top powerful clans in the Demon Realm, and its overall strength was far superior.

Xuan Ye represents the Black Demon Clan, and his investment in subverting the camp to a certain extent represents the will of the Black Demon Clan behind the scenes. He belongs to the top group among all the participants in this banquet.

His strength had also reached the level of a Seventh Tribulation Scattered Demon.

Wang Yu arrived.

Xuan Ye then stepped forward, his eyes sharp as he stared at Wang Yu: "True Flame King, the situation in the sect is different from before. Our demon race adheres to the unspoken rule of the strong prevailing over the weak. Now that your strength is insufficient, how about giving the position of vice sect leader to me?"

Wang Yu glanced at the demons without making a sound.

His words were sarcastic.

"What, you old codger who has cultivated for tens of thousands of years want to compete with the young people for a position? Where were you when I was shedding blood for the sect? Now you want to steal the fruits of victory?"

The atmosphere instantly reached a climax.

Moreover, Wang Yu's words were exceptionally vicious. He described the "prodigy recognized by the outside world" as an old man. It should be noted that anyone who broke through to the Tribulation Transcending stage before the age of 30,000 was regarded as a prodigy by the Cosmic Sea.

Xuan Ye's expression turned ugly, and he couldn't help but ask in return.

"What do you mean by that? Are you only a thousand years old?"

"If you truly have the ambition of a prodigy before Your Majesty's ten thousand years, then find a prodigy of my age. If he can surpass me, I will gladly relinquish my position as Vice Sect Leader."

Wang Yu tried to exaggerate his age.

after all.

The fact that a five-tribulation loose immortal who is just over a thousand years old is too shocking is likely to bring him death if the news spreads too far.

However, one cannot remain completely silent and suffer in silence.

therefore.

When dealing with these prodigies from powerful clans, mentioning self-respect and fair competition is the most appropriate approach, as they always possess a stubborn pride.

As soon as Wang Yu spoke...

Xuan Ye fell silent, then turned to look at the group of geniuses at the edge of the floating island, his meaning clear.

A moment of silence followed.

A demon woman stepped forward and said, "Brother Xuan Ye, I am not yet ten thousand years old. Let me test the abilities of this True Flame King."

Xuan Ye's eyes flickered.

This woman is named Leng Shuanghua. She is the closed-door disciple of another [Heavenly Frost Demon Emperor] in the subversive camp. There are also rumors that she is the adopted daughter that this Demon Emperor took the initiative to recognize.

His talent was extraordinary, belonging to the extremely rare "Ghost Blood Demon Clan". At a young age, he had already cultivated to the Great Ascension Perfection Realm and condensed his own Dao Fruit.

More importantly, he possesses a Demon Emperor's Treasure bestowed upon him by the Heavenly Frost Demon Emperor, which is of the same grade as a Celestial Artifact and has even gained the approval of its spirit.

Rumors circulate that the True Flame King has entered the Tribulation Transcending stage.

Even though Leng Shuanghua's cultivation level is inferior to her opponent's, she still has the Demon Emperor's treasure in hand, so she can still put up a fight against him.

Xuan Ye responded after some thought.

"It is good that Your Highness is willing to fight. However, this duel will be against the savage beasts in the arena. We will not use any artifacts or supernatural techniques. We will only use our physical strength to determine who is stronger."

He also did not want to take advantage of the True Flame King.

Furthermore, the Great Vehicle Perfection is the pinnacle of the human realm. Although the tribulation will continuously refine the three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit, and continue to move towards the next stage of qualitative change.

The benefits of transcending tribulations are mainly reflected in one's Dao Fruit, with limited improvement in basic stats.

therefore.

Xuan Ye's proposed fair duel was generally fair, but when an age limit was added for Wang Yu, even finding a suitable opponent became somewhat difficult.

"True Flame King, what do you think?"

"Very well, Your Highness Leng Shuanghua, I will naturally accept the challenge. However... is she representing herself or Fellow Daoist Xuan Ye?"

With a swift movement, Leng Shuanghua left a trail of snowflakes in her wake, appearing suddenly less than three steps away from Wang Yu.

As a member of the extremely rare Ghost Blood Demon race, her skin was so white it was almost translucent, revealing bluish-gray blood vessels beneath.

Three thousand strands of gray hair were adorned with an ice phoenix crown.

The ice-blue long dress accentuated her curves, and the veins on her full, white breasts were faintly visible, adding a touch of alluring vulnerability.

But contrary to her overall cold temperament, the contrast, coupled with her stunningly beautiful and mature face, made her a unique beauty among all the demons Wang Yu had ever seen.

He, Wang, has a particular fondness for the "ice queen" type.

The main thing is that it brings a satisfying sense of conquest, and he is the kind of person with a strong desire to conquer. At this moment, he is rubbing his chin and looking at the other person without any attempt to hide it.

Seeing this, Leng Shuanghua did not flinch. Instead, she puffed out her chest and said in a flippant tone.

"True Flame King, I heard that you have broken through to the Tribulation Transcending stage, is that true?"

"nature."

"In that case, I am merely at the Great Ascension Perfection Realm. If you dare to seal your Dao Fruit power and allow both sides to use artifacts, after this contest, the loser must unconditionally grant the winner one request, how about that?"

Wang Yu raised an eyebrow.

"Playing this high?"

"Since I am fighting on behalf of Brother Xuan Ye, if we win, he will gain the position of Vice Leader, but I cannot leave empty-handed. If I win, I will make sure you willingly serve under me for a thousand years."

"That's interesting."

Wang Yu is no ordinary first-stage immortal. He cultivates four paths simultaneously and has now begun to integrate them. He also possesses the top-tier spiritual cultivation of the "Heavenly Heart Realm".

It is not only effective in the process of enlightenment and the development of Dharma.

When applied to combat, it can provide unpredictable insights and allow one to gain a decisive advantage.

Even without using the power of the Dao Fruit.

After the Myriad Transformations Chaos Dharma Body was condensed, it completely merged with his physical body, superimposed with the endless demonic thoughts of the Mind Hell, as well as the amplification of the cave heaven within his body, the passive effects of the Power Dao Fruit and the True Dragon Dao Fruit, plus the various realm wonders brought about by the Body Refinement Realm.

It's no exaggeration to say that...

Now, when he goes all out, a single punch can shatter the entire universe. If he adds his power and supernatural abilities, he can even shatter a small part of a star field with a single punch.

Not using Dao Fruit does not mean that the passive buffs of Dao Fruit are also prohibited. After all, self-sealing is not self-severing; at most, it just means not using it actively.

I promise you.

"How should we compete? By kill speed or kill count?"

The beasts in the ancient arena are all of the eighth rank.

Both of them were weak, so they weren't too difficult to kill. Similar events are frequently held in the Demon Realm.

Most of them are killed on the spot and then made into the main dish for banquets.

The event, designed to generate hype and allow participants to reveal their identities and strength, has historically focused on the contest of skills between the two sides rather than the actual killing of the beasts.

"Compare speed."

"can."

After Wang Yu agreed, Xuan Ye took the initiative to come to the side.

"I hereby declare the start of the ceremony. Please be prepared and lest you harm each other."

"3...2...1...Go!"

The moment the sound fell.

The cold frost flowers instantly scattered into tens of thousands of icy blue streaks of light, shooting out in all directions like falling snowflakes. This was the divine effect of "Frost Blossom" from the Dao Fruit [Frost Ghost Dao Fruit] that it cultivated.

This Dao Fruit belongs to half of the race's Dao Fruit. The ancestors of the same race did not work hard enough, and the Dao Fruit has not yet been fully integrated with the concept of the race. Leng Shuanghua is determined to be the first pioneer.

She chose to incorporate the profound mysteries of the Heavenly Frost Dao Fruit into her racial concept, thus making her [Frost Demon Dao Fruit] a unique existence.

Seeing this, Wang Yu shook his head.

With a gentle pluck of his right hand into the void, the Heaven-Stealing Demon Hand instantly locked onto its target, stealing the Frost Ghost Dao Fruit in a flash.

The connection between the Frost Flower and the Dao Fruit has been severed.

She immediately suffered a backlash, and the thousands of escape lights dissipated on the spot. She stared at Wang Yu's right hand with surprise and uncertainty, where her Dao Fruit symbol was floating.

A miniature phoenix hairpin.

Wang Yu's move immediately caused an uproar among the audience.

"What kind of tactic is this?"

"How come I've never heard of such a secret technique?"

"No wonder it is said that this person can kill a scattered demon at the eighth level of Mahayana. If he can steal the other party's Dao Fruit for his own use, even if it is only temporary, he can establish a great advantage. Unless he condenses multiple Dao Fruits, this True Flame King will always be the one with the advantage."

"Excellent methods! Excellent secret techniques! Truly befitting a true dragon of my demon race!!"

at this time.

Wang Yu smiled.

"Your Highness, I will not deceive you. I will not use the power of the Dao Fruit that I seized. Come and try my methods."

That's all.

The Flame Demon Clan's secret technique was placed on the table, and columns of high-temperature magma suddenly shot out from the ground, instantly forming a formation.

"—Kunyan Imprisoning God Formation!"

Some onlookers gasped in surprise.

"This is one of the Flame Demon Clan's signature techniques. I heard that it takes at least five people to form an array, but I didn't expect that True Flame King could do it all by himself."

The Frost Flower was trapped inside and was pondering a way to break free.

But Wang Yu completely ignored her and headed straight for the savage beasts imprisoned in the arena, which made her panic instantly.

The treasure bestowed by the Heavenly Frost Demon Emperor, the Cold Moon Wheel, was immediately summoned. This demonic treasure was equivalent to a celestial artifact, and it was the kind whose spirit had been fully awakened.

Even though the spirit of the magical treasure has a strange nature.

It also unleashed immense power, instantly breaking through the formation and transforming into a moon-white slash that struck Wang Yu in front of it, only to see him disintegrate into countless flames.

They reassembled themselves in the distance.

A chilling, moon-white Daoist power wreaked havoc within his body, refusing to dissipate and causing real injury to Wang Yu. Fortunately, he dodged in time; otherwise, recovering from such a Daoist injury would have been extremely difficult.

Wang Yu's expression gradually turned cold.

With a flick of his right hand, the semi-immortal treasure [Flame Demon Fire-Tipped Spear], refined through bloodline, appeared in his hand. Without any further words, he unleashed his physical power to its fullest extent.

His figure suddenly vanished.

The raging flames transformed into a tornado, clinging to the gun like liquid flames, and thrust towards Leng Shuanghua's heart.

The latter's expression changed drastically.

The cold moon wheel suddenly appeared at his back, opening up a crescent moon phenomenon to form a barrier. The moment the spear tip touched the moon wheel, Wang Yu's unparalleled and terrifying brute force pierced the moon shield, leaving a noticeable dent.

The Flame Demon's Fire-Tipped Spear also became increasingly bent.

Until a certain limit was reached, the Moon Shield shattered with a crash, the Cold Moon Wheel was sent flying on the spot, and the spear tip stopped at the throat of the Cold Frost Flower.

Wang Yu said coldly.

"You used the Demon Emperor's weapon for a sneak attack?"

If the occasion hadn't been so inappropriate, Princess Frostflower would have been mercilessly killed by him.

The scene fell silent for a moment.

Immediately following was an uproar. Anyone with eyes could see that Wang Yu had not used the power of the Dao Fruit, nor even activated the power of the laws.

With just his physical strength and a semi-immortal treasure, he defeated Leng Shuanghua, who used the Demon Emperor's weapon. His courage and strength were truly extraordinary. No demon present dared to say that he was stronger than Zhenyan Wang's physical body.

The battle was won.

With a wave of his hand, Wang Yu killed an eighth-tier savage beast, landed on the floating island, met Xuan Ye's gaze for a moment, and then looked at the other demons.

"Anyone else vying for my position as Vice Leader may step forward. I will only give you this opportunity once. There is no age limit this time; anyone who wants to participate is welcome, including... Fellow Daoist Xuan Ye!" (End of Chapter)
