Chapter 1016: Chapter 644: A Different Trial’s Rules, the Demon Lord’s Son

None of them expected that the Netherworld Palace’s trial for external members this time would adopt a mode requiring them to kill each other.

More importantly, the demons from the Demon Domain and the Demon Clan were also drawn into this space for the trial.

The Demon Clan is easier to deal with; in the Heavenly Origin Great World, the Demon Domain has always maintained a neutral stance, and their relationship with the Human Race is considered decent.

But the Demon Domain is different; the Demon Clan and the Human Race are natural enemies. Their long-standing hostility can be described as a deep-seated hatred.

There’s almost no possibility for peaceful coexistence.

Now that everyone is in the same space, it’s imaginable that once they meet, it will be a fight to the death.

"Having to trial together with demons from the Demon Clan?"

Lu Qing also felt very surprised.

Although he heard from the Five Treasures Daoist that the Netherworld Palace does not limit its recruitment of external members to any race.

Whether it’s the Human Race, Demon Clan, demons, or other living creatures,

as long as they can pass the trial, they can become their external members.

But such a method of placing trialists from several races into the same secret realm space is extremely rare.

Otherwise, these Golden Core Realm cultivators wouldn’t be so shocked.

Buzz!

Just as the crowd was getting restless, suddenly the Trial Jade Talisman in their hands emitted a glow.

Then, an invisible wave spread out, reaching far off.

"Hmm?"

Lu Qing’s heart and spirit stirred, and he immediately probed the divine soul power into the Trial Jade Talisman, only to show a surprised expression.

Inside the Trial Jade Talisman, a virtual space appeared, filled with a large number of white dots, some of which were continuously moving.

By comparing, Lu Qing quickly understood that the virtual space in the Trial Jade Talisman represented the secret realm space they were currently in.

The displayed white dots represented the locations of other talisman holders.

"So that’s what the masked boy meant when he said the Trial Jade Talismans could sense each other." Lu Qing pondered.

At the same time, he received a warning from the Trial Jade Talisman.

That is, the trialists cannot block the fluctuations of the Trial Jade Talisman, cannot let it be further than three feet away from themselves, and cannot store it in a Space Treasure.

If the rules are violated, they will immediately lose their qualification for the trial.

"This requirement is blatantly demanding us to kill each other."

After seeing that rule, Lu Qing immediately understood Netherworld Palace’s intention.

Clearly, Netherworld Palace was telling them that to pass the trial, they must fight and snatch enough Trial Jade Talismans.

Trying to sneak through by hiding and evading until the end is not possible.

At this time, other Golden Core Realm cultivators also understood the meaning of those white dots in the talisman.

Upon seeing the warning from the Trial Jade Talisman, everyone’s expressions became even gloomier.

They naturally understood what all this signifies.

"What a useless trial! I’m opting out; you all do whatever you like!"

One of the Golden Core Realm cultivators, after changing expressions several times, suddenly clenched his teeth and tossed the Trial Jade Talisman high up.

Then he transformed into a streaming light and fled into the distance.

His strength was merely at mid-Golden Core Realm.

Under such rules, passing the trial was simply impossible.

Now, the most important thing was to save his own life.

He planned to find a hidden place to hide before those demons arrived, and wait out these three days.

Watching the retreating figure of the Golden Core Realm cultivator, everyone was first stunned, then suddenly understood his intentions.

Some showed admiration, realizing that his decisiveness in making such a choice immediately showed determination.

But others focused directly on the Trial Jade Talisman tossed by the Golden Core Realm cultivator.

Before the Trial Jade Talisman fully landed, suddenly a mana hand emerged, reaching to grab the talisman.

"Hold on!"

Before that mana hand could seize the talisman, a blade Qi swept across, intercepting it.

Immediately, several Taoist skills flew out, aiming for the Trial Jade Talisman.

At the same time, four or five people were scrambling for the Trial Jade Talisman.

As for other Golden Core Realm experts, they avoided the conflict because the aura displayed by those four or five was the strongest among them, all of them were at late Golden Core Realm.

The Taoist skills they unleashed were extraordinarily powerful; to avoid being swept into it, they had no choice but to retreat.

While the cultivators around Lu Qing were engaged in a contest.

Similar battles erupted in various other parts of this space.

"Interesting, this time we’re trialing with the Human Race and Demon Clan?"

Thousands of miles away from Lu Qing’s group, a tall, slender man with long black horns and pale skin, extremely handsome, examined the information within his Trial Jade Talisman, revealing a look of great delight.

Surrounding him, some strangely-shaped demons looked at him with fear.

"It’s Cang Jue, the ninth son of Silent Annihilation Demon Venerable, why is he here?"

"A dignified son of the Demon Lord actually participating in the trial for external members of Netherworld Palace, has he gone mad?"

"Hasn’t Cang Jue’s cultivation already reached the perfection of the Demon Pill realm? Why is he not preparing to become a Demon General instead of being here?"

"It’s over, rumors say Cang Jue is as cruel and murderous as Silent Annihilation Demon Venerable, perhaps even more so, he might kill us all!"

...

Boom!

Suddenly, the handsome man known as "Cang Jue" stretched out his hand, and an invisible aura exploded.

A powerful force grabbed a pig-headed demon, suspending it in front.

"I seem to have heard you cursing me in your heart?"

Cang Jue’s purple slitted eyes looked at the pig-headed demon and spoke slowly.

"No, no, how dare the little one curse you, Cang Jue." Cang Jue, please spare my life!"

The pig-headed demon was already terrified, fearfully begging for his life.

Saliva splattered from his big bloody mouth.

Which made the handsome man called Cang Jue’s eyes grow cold.

With a forceful hand, an invisible power surged, instantly twisting the pig-headed demon.

With a series of cracking bones, the pig-headed demon’s massive body was twisted into a shape like a pretzel.

Finally, amidst a wave of pitiful screams, his life force slowly dissipated.

"Regardless of whether you cursed me or not, just your ugly appearance deserves death."

Cang Jue casually threw the pig-headed demon’s corpse on the ground, lightly hooking his fingers to seize the Trial Jade Talisman in its hand.

Seeing this, other demons around watched with reverence.

The pig-headed demon’s strength was not weak, at least at the Seventh Transition of the Demon Pill realm.

Yet in front of Cang Jue, he was like a weak chick, unable to resist at all and was pinched alive to death.

No wonder he’s the Demon Lord’s son; even though he’s in the Demon Pill realm, his strength is far superior to theirs.

After killing the pig-headed demon, Cang Jue scanned the surroundings.

Immediately, all demon bodies trembled, and their faces showed utmost respect.

Though they all longed to escape, they knew very well the consequence of fleeing before such a figure.

"Judging by your looks, you should know what to do, right?"

Cang Jue played with his own Trial Jade Talisman, speaking calmly.

"I understand, Cang Jue, this is my Trial Jade Talisman, please accept it."

A sheep-headed demon cautiously knelt, offering its Trial Jade Talisman.

"Good, you’ve got some sense."

Cang Jue hooked his finger, collecting that Trial Jade Talisman as well.

Seeing this, the other demons instantly knew what to do.

They all knelt and offered their own Trial Jade Talismans.

After collecting all the talismans, Cang Jue finally looked into the distance, displaying a cruel smile.

"Now, it’s your turn."
