Chapter 4063: Chapter 4063: Blazing Radiance! (Sixth Update)
Don’t even mention obtaining all of the Hua Yue Treasure Boxes—right now Ye Chen feels that getting even one of them won’t be easy at all. After all, if the other Chenyue Dark Children’s strength isn’t much different from these two youths, then things will be troublesome...
At his current level, Ye Chen still has a certain gap compared to these people.
Xuan Han Yu said, "Don’t worry, you won’t necessarily lose. The Hua Yue Competition, aside from testing the participants’ overall abilities, has another purpose—to test potential! These Chenyue Dark Children are strong, but in terms of potential? Even added together, they’re no match for you!"
"You’re the reincarnation of the Samsara Master! With the Samsara Graveyard and me at your side, what is there to fear?"
Not long after, the participants from the Four Outer Seas arrived one after another. Behind the Hall Masters of the east, west, south, and north palaces, each followed by one person. Without exception, the moment these few entered, they looked toward Ye Chen and gave him a smile.
Xi Rong’er, seated beside Ye Chen, and Xi Yun on the main seat both frowned slightly at this. Clearly, they had noticed the abnormality of these few people. Thinking back to Ye Chen’s reaction when he first saw Bai Que, they couldn’t help but grow worried...
After this period of interaction, they both knew very well that Ye Chen absolutely wasn’t someone who would lose composure easily!
Then, the problem could only lie with that Bai Que!
And now, all these people were showing this same strange behavior?
Divine Radiance flashed in Xi Yun’s eyes as he couldn’t help asking Xing Gui beside him, "Brother Xing, that Bai Que of your White Sea—what’s his background? What sect is he from? How come I’ve never heard of him before?"
Hearing this, Xing Gui’s expression actually changed slightly, his eyes somewhat evasive as he said, "Just a friend’s child, that’s all. This friend of mine has lived in seclusion for years and never appears in public. It’s normal that you don’t know of him."
Seeing Xing Gui’s expression, the doubt in Xi Yun’s eyes grew even stronger. Not only Bai Que, but that purple-haired youth from Qinghai, as well as the participants brought by the Four Outer Seas—he had never heard of any of them. As a member of the royal family, he almost knew every genius who usually took part in the Hua Yue Competition. On rare occasions he might miss one or two, but now six had appeared all at once?
This was far too abnormal...
Furthermore, these people seemed to share a common trait—they all appeared quite interested in Ye Chen...
These young people who could make Xing Gui speak so vaguely, and make Ye Chen subconsciously enter a combat state—just what was their origin?
Ye Chen himself was instead somewhat numb to it. The potential and strength of these Chenyue Dark Children were all extremely terrifying.
There was trouble.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Chu Wuying stood up and spoke: "Since everyone is here, there’s no point in delay. Let the Hua Yue Competition begin now!"
As soon as his voice fell, several Transmission Crystals suddenly rose up behind him, and at the same time, a gigantic array formation enveloped this entire Mainland!
The instant this formation opened, surging demonic qi spread across the Mainland. Deafening roars echoed again and again behind Chu Wuying. The eyes of the geniuses seated in the hall all flickered!
There was actually such powerful demonic qi and such a vast number of demons sealed within this Mainland?
Now that the formation had opened a crack, it seemed to have allowed some of the demons within the seal to awaken and appear upon the Mainland.
However, these demons were still bound by the formation and remained unable to leave this Mainland.
What was Chu Wuying releasing these demons for?
Chu Wuying smiled and said, "This Mainland is said to be an Ancient Sealing Demon Land. Do you know that within this Chenyue Sea there exists an extremely special demon race? They once endlessly slaughtered humans and the Moon God Clan... utterly cruel..."
Everyone listened in silence, staring at Chu Wuying. Ye Chen looked toward those Chenyue Dark Children, only to see their eyes flicker, as if they had thought of something.
Chu Wuying continued, "This demon race is what we call the Chenyue True Demons! The Chenyue True Demons released this time are all Late-stage Qiankun Realm, even peak-level existences!"
Quite a few people’s expressions changed slightly at these words.
Though they were all monstrous talents from various sea regions, none of them possessed peak Qiankun Realm strength!
Of course, the Chenyue Dark Children were exceptions.
A burly man from Huang Hai frowned slightly and said, "May I ask Hall Master Chu, is this competition to be conducted upon this Mainland filled with Late-stage Qiankun Realm and even peak-level demons?"
Chu Wuying smiled and said, "Correct. This trial is the preliminary round. Next, you will all be teleported to different parts of the island. Afterwards, based on your performance in the preliminaries, we will decide who is qualified to participate in the true assessment."
The burly man’s expression changed as he said, "Hall Master wants us to face these demons—doesn’t that seem a bit too much?"
Many people nodded in agreement: "Yes, this preliminary round isn’t reasonable."
"There’s never been such a preliminary round before."
"Has Hall Master Chu made some kind of mistake?"
This was still only the preliminaries!
It didn’t even count as the true assessment, yet they had to risk their lives?
If that were the case, then the Hua Yue Competition wasn’t worth participating in!
The Hua Yue Treasure Boxes were precious, but not to the point of gambling one’s life!
They were all geniuses with boundless prospects; none wished to die here for no reason.
Chu Wuying seemed to have anticipated their reaction long ago. He laughed heartily and said, "Everyone, calm yourselves and listen to my explanation. These Chenyue True Demons, while they are Late-stage Qiankun Realm and even peak-level existences, their actual strength does not truly reach that level!"
At these words, everyone’s eyes flashed. What did that mean?
Chu Wuying continued, "The Chenyue True Demons are divided into three types: Chenyue Power Demons, Chenyue Demon, and Chenyue Martial Demons. Due to the influence of the seal, the overall strength of these three kinds of Chenyue True Demons has been greatly weakened, especially their single strongest attribute! With your level of strength, you are already fully capable of dealing with them!
Within the heads of these true demons, Demon Crystals are condensed. After the preliminaries end, the number of Demon Crystals in your possession will be one of the key criteria for evaluating your results. Anyone who gathers thirty Demon Crystals may directly end the preliminaries and enter the main competition!"
At these words, joy surfaced in the eyes of the gathered geniuses!
The talents participating in the Hua Yue Competition mostly each had some particularly outstanding attribute. Now that the Chenyue Three Demons have been suppressed by the seal, they each possess tremendous flaws in power, divine soul, and martial arts respectively—making them perfect prey!
The geniuses all rubbed their fists and prepared eagerly, faces full of pride, as if they each wished to win the favor of the Nine Great Sea Domain Hall Masters in this preliminary round!
Xi Rong’er’s face also showed joy. She far surpassed others of the same level in power, so facing the Chenyue Power Demons she ought to hold absolute advantage. She turned her head, ready to ask Ye Chen which type of demon race he planned to target, but the moment she saw Ye Chen’s face, she couldn’t help being stunned...
Ye Chen, who usually gave people a feeling of indifference, even a bit of coldness, now wore an expression of wild joy. There was even an extremely fervent light burning in his eyes!
Xi Rong’er was somewhat puzzled. Could it be that Ye Chen had also found a target that suited him perfectly?
Seeing this, Chu Wuying raised his voice and shouted, "The preliminaries will last for seven days. Now, this trial officially begins. I hope all of you can achieve excellent results!"
As his voice fell, beams of light surged up from beneath the meditation cushions, enveloping each of the participants within shining pillars of light.
