Ye Xiao said indifferently: "I am not your father. If you want a spirit stone, go find your father."
The man was stunned for a moment and then immediately raged, "How dare you tease me!"
With that said, he immediately circulated spirit energy and the gigantic axe in his hand transformed into countless afterimages as he slashed towards Ye Xiao.
This was a Late Stage Immortal King expert. With just one strike of his axe, it was as if he was about to tear someone apart.
Ye Xiao used the Spirit Devour Escape and nimbly dodged the axe.
"You still want to hide?" The sturdy man was enraged. The axe in his hand hacked towards Ye Xiao once again.
But suddenly, at this moment, the sound of a horn could be heard from afar.
In the distance, battleship after battleship appeared in the sky. They were waving their flags and beating their drums.
The man's expression changed: "South Demon Alliance's patrol ship!"
"Brat, today is your lucky day!" Without the slightest hesitation, the man immediately fled.
It wasn't just this man, quite a few demonic cultivators and demons began to madly run in the direction of the distant demon city.
From time to time, there would be loud noises coming from the battleship. As the cannon shot down, a few demonic cultivators and demons turned into ashes.
Ye Xiao's expression changed as he followed the group of demonic cultivators to the city.
"You crooked demons of the Northern Wasteland, all of you must die!" An angry shout came from the warship.
Following which, the battleships fired their cannons in unison and began their indiscriminate attacks. Rumbling sounds could be heard endlessly. When the cannons landed on a demon's body, regardless of their cultivation realm, they were all turned into ashes.
When the bombardment was over, those mighty warships stopped their attacks.
"You all listen carefully, I'll give you three days. If you don't open the city gates, we will slaughter the entire city!" The battleship made a threat and left.
There were already quite a few cultivators gathered outside the city.
"Why do you want to vent your anger on us because of the grudges between South Demon Alliance and Blood Demon Sect?"
"Those so-called demons of the South Demon Alliance are just a bunch of demons who only know how to bully the weak. I have never seen them deal with Blood Demon Sect, they only know how to fight against us demons of small demon cities!"
The demons were indignant but there was nothing they could do. If it wasn't for the defensive formation, they probably would have died a long time ago.
Ye Xiao disappeared into the crowd.
This city in the Northern Wasteland was nothing more than an unremarkable city. Ye Xiao found an inn.
The moment Ye Xiao entered the inn, the innkeeper started to size Ye Xiao up: "Immortal King Realm, not bad, are you here to watch the selection as well?"
"My Blood Demon Sect is not that easy to enter. Come back after three days. I don't have time to test your strength right now." Without waiting for Ye Xiao to speak, the innkeeper had already impatiently waved his hand and said.
Ye Xiao had already suppressed his cultivation base to the Late Stage of Immortal King Realm. He didn't want to reveal his cultivation base here for now.
Ye Xiao frowned: "Are you really busy?"
The innkeeper snorted and said, "Not really. It's just because the inspection room has been reserved. I advise you to wait."
"I've never heard of an inspection room with predetermined rules." Ye Xiao shook his head and said.
On the way here, Ye Xiao had been searching for information on the Blood Demon Sect.
If he wanted to enter the Blood Demon Sect so that he could use the Blood Pool there to cultivate the Fifth Layer of Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique, he has to first pass the trial here.
Moreover, the trial was only the beginning, there were other challenges he has to face before he could enter the Blood Demon Sect.
These inspection rooms were specifically used to test the strength of the new disciples in the Blood Demon Sect. This kind of place wasn't important in the first place, so how could there be a prearranged reserved room?
"This rule was set by me. Do you have any objections?" From behind Ye Xiao, a person suddenly walked out. It was a young man dressed in luxurious clothing. He held a fan in his hand and had a handsome face. But one could clearly sense a dense demonic aura emitting out from his body.
It was clear that this young man was also a demonic cultivator.
A group of demon servants followed behind him with unfriendly expressions.
"Oh, it's Master Dong Xuan, please come in!" Seeing the man in white enter, the innkeeper immediately put on a smiling face.
Dong Xuan clapped his hands and looked around in disdain: "If it wasn't for the selection test this time, I wouldn't even be willing to stay in your small stronghold."
The innkeeper nodded his head and bowed, "Yes, yes. Young Master Dong has made the decision. I have prepared an examination room for you."
Dong Xuan nodded then glanced at Ye Xiao and curled his lips: "The current Blood Demon Sect is getting more and more outrageous. Even such a mediocre demonic cultivator person would be recruited here."
"Yes, yes, yes, this lowly one will make him scram later!" The innkeeper laughed and immediately nodded his head.
At this time, a servant suddenly pointed at Ye Xiao: "Young Master, it's this kid that dared to reject me outside the city for a loan!"
That servant was actually the demonic cultivator whom Ye Xiao met outside the city.
Hearing that, Dong Xuan looked at Ye Xiao again: "To be able to receive a few of my servant's moves can be considered that you do have a little strength. Let him try his luck at the testing room."
After he finished speaking, Dong Xuan led a group of servants and entered the examination room.
The shopkeeper waited for them to finish and then looked at Ye Xiao with a cold smile: "Young Master Dong has done you a favour and let me give you a chance to enter an examination room. Hurry and get in."
Ye Xiao asked: "What is his background?"
"You look like you haven't seen the world and you are ignorant as well as ill-informed. Young Master Dong Xuan's father is one of the ten great demon generals under Master. Young Master Dong Xuan himself has outstanding talent." The innkeeper said proudly.
Ye Xiao said without any emotion: "Son of demon general, he doesn't look that strong to me."
"Humph! Do you know how many geniuses there are in the Northern Wasteland? The ones who can rank in the top one hundred are all rare geniuses! Young Master Dong ranked 30 among those genius demons."
The innkeeper suddenly said impatiently, "Why should I tell you this? You just need to know your own status. Hurry up and get in."
Ye Xiao thoughtfully nodded his head. Then he walked in front of the innkeeper and suddenly threw out a punch.
"You dare to attack me?" The shopkeeper sneered and a powerful aura instantly erupted from his body.
Who would have thought that this seemingly weak innkeeper was actually an Early Stage Immortal Emperor Realm expert?
"You dare to make a move here, you must have some guts!" The innkeeper protected his body and also threw a punch.
"Boom!"
The two fists smashed into each other. In the next moment, the innkeeper could be seen being sent flying and just happened to hit the wall of the inn. The entire wall trembled a few times.
Ye Xiao walked over and grabbed his collar.
"Firstly, no matter where I go, I don't need the charity of others, nor can you stop me. Second, if I want to kill you, it will be as easy as flipping my hand."
Saying this, Ye Xiao asked: "Do you understand?"
The innkeeper broke out in a cold sweat. He hurriedly nodded his head and replied fearfully, "I Understood."
Ye Xiao let go of his hands and directly walked into the inn. Previously, he had already made up his mind that no matter what, he'll never endure anything.
The innkeeper struggled to get up and a trace of malice flashed within his eyes.
"Little bastard, how dare you sneak attack me. I'll let you in today and I can guarantee that you'll not come out!" The innkeeper suddenly called an inn assistant over and whispered in his ear.
The inn assistant was shocked as he said, "The 'Hell Difficulty' level is not in accordance with the rules."
The Hell difficulty of Demon General Trial was the most difficult test for their little stronghold. Generally speaking, only an expert at the late stage of the Immortal Emperor Realm would challenge this level of difficulty.
The innkeeper's expression turned serious as he rebuked, "It's up to me to decide what I want to do. Hurry up and do it."
The shop assistan
_In the inn_
On the surface, this place was an inn, but in reality, it was not open for business. It was only a place to test the demon and demonic cultivators who wants to enter the Blood Demon Sect. The surrounding air was exuding a faint demonic aura that did not dissipate at all.
"Your testing room is here and that's your number. If you can hold on inside for an incense stick of time, then you will be passed." The inn assistant placed a number plate into Ye Xiao's hands.
The number 70 on the number plate indicated that it was the testing room for Ye Xiao. Ye Xiao pushed open the door and immediately entered the testing room.
As soon as he entered, a strong smell of blood assaulted his nose.
"Roar!" A sharp roar sounded.
The room was dark. There was only one dim light illuminating a limited area.
A black shadow suddenly jumped out from a corner of the testing room and instantly appeared beside Ye Xiao, clawing fiercely towards him.
Whoosh!
The claws were extremely fast and there was even a sound of wind coming from them.
Ye Xiao's expression changed, "A Demonic Beast?"
Clang!
The Sea Dragon Spear appeared in his hand and clashed with the demonic beast's claw. It created sparks to lit up in this dark room, slightly illuminating the room.
In front of Ye Xiao was a ghastly looking Demonic Beast. This demonic Beast was three times as tall as an ordinary person when it stood up.
"Someone has taken away its souls and is secretly manipulating its body!" Ye Xiao focused his eyes and immediately understood what was going on. With the information and abilities he received after fusing with the World Exterminating Demon Dragon, he naturally knew that the body of this demonic beast was extremely strong. Some Middle-grade Immortal Treasures wouldn't even be able to leave a mark on his body.
"This demonic beast has such a strong body. I can use it to see how strong I am now!" Ye Xiao kept the Sea Dragon Spear and immediately rushed towards the demonic beast with his fist.
One man and one demonic beast: fist and claws clashed. Both of them were completely relying on each other's physical strength. Ye Xiao also didn't use a single trace of spirit energy in his attack.
Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
The two of them fought for dozens of rounds in a row and had actually been unable to determine victory or defeat.
Although Ye Xiao was not using the spirit energy, he still failed to win against this demonic beast in terms of physical strength. It has to know that he was cultivating the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique, and because of this, his physical body was extremely strong.
It could be seen that after killing this demonic beast, someone refined its body using some sort of secret technique, causing its already strong body to become even stronger.
"Let's see how powerful my punch is now." Ye Xiao once again punched at the demonic beast but this time, there was a trace of spirit energy channelling into his arm.
Following that, Ye Xiao smashed his fist against the demonic beast.
"Bang!"
A loud sound could be heard as the demonic beast's tough body caved in. There was even blood flowing out from the surface.
However, the demonic beast was not dead yet. It continued to run towards Ye Xiao's direction.
Ye Xiao suddenly extended a finger and pointed at the center between the demonic beast's head.
His finger was exuding a demonic aura and black dragon scales could be seen not only on his finger's back but also on his backhand.
"World Exterminating Finger!"
The demonic beast, who was running and was attacking wildly just a moment ago, suddenly stopped and remained motionless.
World Exterminating Finger was one of the abilities that Ye Xiao got after fusing with the World Exterminating Demon Dragon.
.....
Outside the inn, the innkeeper had been injured by Ye Xiao and was consuming a medicine to heal his injuries.
At this moment, a servant quickly ran in, "Innkeeper, the chief messenger has arrived."
The innkeeper's entire body trembled as he hurriedly recovered from his recovery and quickly ran out.
A black-robed demon had already appeared outside the inn.
"Your subordinate greets you, Emissary of the main altar." The innkeeper hurriedly knelt down and immediately greeted the black-robed demon.
"How many people have come recently?" the messenger asked.
The innkeeper hurriedly replied, "There are a total of ninety-three people who passed the ordinary trial. So far, not a single person has passed the advance trial."
Pow!
The envoy suddenly raised the book in his hand and threw it at the innkeeper's face.
"You've been here for such a long time and all you've done was this little bit of work?" The envoy roared impatiently.
But it was at this moment, a ray of dark light suddenly appeared in the distance.
Someone passed the advanced level trail!" The innkeeper said in pleasant surprise.
The innkeeper was overjoyed and said, "It must be Sir Dong Xuan. He came to our testing room to check on us today."
Creak!
With a light sound, the door of a testing room slowly opened. Dong Xuan arrogantly walked out with a group of servants. Many of the servants were in a sorry state but they had truly passed.
As for Dong Xuan, his white robe did not have a single wrinkle, and looked very calm, without a hint of panic.
"Congratulations Sir Dong Xuan, you have succeeded in challenging the advance trail. Even in the entire Blood Demon Sect, there are very few who can reach your level." The innkeeper immediately flattered.
Dong Xuan gave a cold snort, "It was very normal for me to pass that trial. Don't you know how strong I am?"
Dong Xuan suddenly thought of something and asked: "Where is that kid?"
The innkeeper hurriedly smiled. "How can that brat be compared to you? He's probably already dead in the examination room."
Dong Xuan said with some regret: "It's such a pity, seeing that he's still young, I had actually wanted to take him in as my servant."
The innkeeper immediately said with a smile, "He's just a kid from the who knows where, how could he be qualified to be Young Master's servant?"
Dong Xuan nodded his head: "It's good that he died here, it will save him the trouble in the future."
"You? You succeeded in challenging the advance trial?" The black-robed demon suddenly said.
The innkeeper immediately introduced: "Sir Dong Xuan, this is the main altar envoy."
"You're not bad." The black-robed demon looked at Dong Xuan with praise in his eyes, "I heard that your father is Demon General Dong Xin?"
Dong Xuan nodded his head and replied respectfully: "That's my father."
The Envoy of the Main Altar were existences on the same level as the Ten Demon Generals. They were ordered to serve their lords and who was even more powerful than the Ten Demon Generals.
The black-robed demon chortled. "This has nothing to do with your father. You are the one who is outstanding."
The black-cloaked demon's gaze once again fell on the innkeeper. "Hand over all those who have passed the examination, I want to take them all with me."
The innkeeper said in surprise, "Sir, so fast?"
The black-robed demon's gaze turned cold as he said, "The situation is urgent, do I need to explain it to you?"
The innkeeper's entire body trembled as he hurriedly knelt on the ground and exclaimed directly that he didn't dare.
Very quickly, the innkeeper began to notify the other demons and demonic cultivators who have passed the trail to come.
"Everyone's here?" The black-robed demon asked in a low voice.
The innkeeper replied respectfully, "Reporting to the lord, they are all here."
"Alright!" The black-robed demon waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"
At this moment, another black light shot towards the sky. The might of this black light was even stronger than what Dong Xuan caused. This scene was really too intimidating.
With a "creak!" sound suddenly rang out in the inn. An examination room slowly opened and Ye Xiao walked out.
Ye Xiao's body was emitting a strong killing intent, causing people to feel intimidated. Such an imposing manner really did intimidate everyone. Even the black-cloaked demon was slightly surprised.
But soon after, he saw the words "Hell" written on the door before he shifted his gaze away.
In the testing room, the trail could be considered extremely difficult to pass.
It's because one has to fight against a Late Stage Demon Emperor Level Demonic Beast and kill it. The difficult part is that this demonic beast is already dead and its body was refined into a demonic puppet using a secret technique, causing its body to become even stronger.
Because of this, even an Early Stage Ancient Demon might not be able to defeat that demonic beast.
But Ye Xiao was able to do that.. It really caused the black-robed demon to be surprised
