Starting as a Grandmaster, all of my cultivation techniques are at max level.

"The Giant Ape King".

Xia Jin didn't care too much about the Black Wing King's submission.

After all, in his view, the Blackwing King's submission was nothing more than a matter of course and not something to be overly happy about.

His gaze shifted to the giant ape king, who had already stood up.

"My lord! Please feel free to give any orders!" The giant ape king quickly stepped forward, his massive, mountain-like body bowing slightly, his expression extremely respectful.

When he learned that Xia Jin had personally admitted to having entered the legendary mythical realm, Xia Jin's status in his heart was no different from that of a god.

That is the supreme existence of the mythical realm!

Such a realm is something that, let alone among the demon race, even among the entire human race, other races, and even the legendary other side of the Boundless Sea, the legendary source of darkness, has likely been unattainable by anyone in the past hundreds of thousands of years.

The Great Perfection of the Sacred Realm is the pinnacle that all races look up to, while the Mythical Realm exists only in ancient legends.

For their demon race to have such a figure in charge, let alone returning to their peak, even ruling this universe is by no means a pipe dream!

"Now that the demon race has submitted to me, the remaining matters will be handled by the three of you. I will not interfere in everything, nor will I meddle in your internal affairs."

The Giant Ape King nodded repeatedly: "Rest assured, my lord, we will do our utmost and will never let you be distracted!"

"However!!" Xia Jin narrowed her eyes slightly, "I have a task for you to complete!"

"I'll give you one year to assemble a demon army of 100,000 men. Quality over quantity; I don't need mediocre fillers, only the elite of the elite! Every single one must be a true warrior, capable of fighting on the battlefield and taking on a hundred men!"

His gaze swept over the three demon kings in the hall, making the giant ape king and the others feel a sense of tension.

"Once these 100,000 elite troops are assembled, I will personally train them for three years. After three years, I will lead this army to sweep across the entire alien territory!"

Although Xia Jin said it in a calm tone

But to the three demon kings, it was like a thunderclap from the heavens!

The teacup in the Nine-Headed King's hand was unconsciously crushed, not because of fear, but because of the surging excitement and agitation that almost burst out of his chest!

Even the usually composed Blackwing King's face flushed red instantly, and his eyes seemed to ignite with a long-dormant blaze.

The demon race is mostly warlike and bloodthirsty!

What flows in their veins is a bloodline that is born with a thirst for killing and a desire for conquest!

For tens of thousands of years, the reason they have been confined to a corner of Canglan is that their mid-to-high-end combat power has been suppressed by the alien races, and the number of their top experts is far less than that of the other side.

But things are different now! With Xia Jin, a supreme being of the Mythical Realm, in charge, the entire landscape will be completely rewritten!

The Nine-Headed King and the Black-Winged King exchanged a glance, then stood up almost simultaneously and bowed respectfully to Xia Jin.

"Rest assured, sir! The three of us will do everything in our power to fulfill your request!"

"If I cannot muster 100,000 elite troops within a year, I, Blackwing, am willing to offer my head!"

"No need to shout so loudly! I can hear you!!"

Xia Jin raised an eyebrow speechlessly, raised her right hand, and made a grabbing motion in the air towards the entrance of the mansion.

Roar!

The stone dragon statue that was originally coiled around the stone pillar of the city lord's mansion seemed to come to life at this moment!

The entire stone dragon meandered down from the stone pillar, circled once in mid-air, and finally obediently flew into Xia Jin's palm.

Xia Jin slightly closed her five fingers, and seven-colored divine light flashed in her palm.

With a crisp sound, the stone dragon was crushed and reforged, transforming into three dark gold tokens.

"Take them." Xia Jin casually tossed the three tokens into the hands of the Giant Ape King, the Nine-Headed Serpent King, and the Black Wing King.

"In the future, if there are any important matters, use this token to notify me, and I will be informed."

The Giant Ape King held the token in both hands, his face completely filled with excitement. He carefully put it into his pocket, as this token was a hundred times more precious than any so-called peerless divine weapon.

The Nine-Headed King and the Black Wing King did the same, both solemnly keeping the tokens close to their bodies, their expressions extremely dignified.

"You'd better watch yourselves!!"

Xia Jin had no intention of staying any longer. His figure transformed into countless points of light and instantly dissipated into the city lord's hall.

In an instant, only the Giant Ape King and two other demon kings remained in the entire vast city lord's mansion.

For a moment, the place seemed to become completely silent.

Blackwing King turned to look at Giant Ape King, his tone filled with intense curiosity and confusion: "Monkey!! My lord, where did you find him?"

"The existence of beings at the Mythical Realm is so rare that even in the entire history of this universe spanning hundreds of thousands of years, there might not be more than three!"

The Nine-Headed King was also staring intently at the Giant Ape King.

Although he and the Giant Ape King had always been at odds, he did not make any sarcastic remarks at this moment, but was equally curious.

The Giant Ape King was stunned for a moment, then grinned and laughed.

"Hahaha!!"

"To be honest, I was just incredibly lucky!"

The Giant Ape King's face was full of smugness, but he became more serious as he spoke, "I didn't go looking for this gentleman at all. It was this gentleman who was on his way to the Boundless Sea and happened to pass by my Fighting City, and I just happened to invite him into the city for a chat."

"But what you don't know is that this lord initially had no desire to become the emperor of our demon race!"

At this point, the Giant Ape King's expression became more serious.

"Thanks to my Uncle-Master Wei Yang, who made some kind of deal with this lord, we were able to barely get him to agree!"

"Otherwise, do you really think that a being at the Mythical Realm would care about the life or death of the demon race?"

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of both Blackwing King and Nine-Headed King.

Is this the fate of the demon race?!

"In short," the Giant Ape King's sharp gaze swept over the two, "this is the first task assigned by the Lord, and the three of us must work together to complete it well! If we mess it up, it won't just be our face that's lost, but the incredible opportunity that the entire demon race has been waiting for!"

Nine-Headed King frowned and nodded. Although he still didn't quite like the Giant Ape King, he was now very serious: "Of course."

Blackwing King narrowed his eyes slightly.

"That being said, it's not that easy!"

"With the foundation of our demon race spread across the Canglan Continent for hundreds of thousands of years, it is more than enough to assemble an army of 100,000. However, according to your standards, each person must be able to fight a hundred men and be the elite of the elite! This army of 100,000 is probably not that simple."

The Giant Ape King glanced at the Black Wing King and asked in a deep voice, "Then, in your opinion, what should be the minimum standard for these 100,000 elite troops?"

A glint of light flashed in Blackwing King's eyes.

"At the very least, one's strength must be above the Dragon Transformation Realm. Those below the Dragon Transformation Realm are simply not worthy of your attention, sir."

"One hundred thousand elites above the Dragon Transformation Realm? Even if we draw all the core forces from all three sides, we might not be able to muster that many!!" The Nine-Headed King's face immediately darkened.

"We still have to collect them!" the White Ape King sneered.

"If we can't gather enough demons from the Canglan Continent, then let's go to that place!"
