âYesâ
[Congratulations, you have gained 45 Demon Power points.]
[Subtask 2 is activated, please check it on the Task Panel.]
Glancing at his Demon power, which had been reduced to 15 due to Zhang Yangâs breakthrough, it had reached 60 points.
Looking at the task panel, his eyes couldnât help but light up.
[Main Task: Steal the sacred demon blood]
[Subtask 2: Enter the Ancestral place of the demon]
[Difficulty: Four stars]
[Reward: Emperor-level demon scripture, Emperor-level refined blood, 75 demon power points, magic seed]
[Countdown: Six days]
âMagic Seed, nice!â
Entering the Ancestral Land might be difficult for others, but for him, it still wasnât too difficult.
According to the information he had previously obtained, as long as he ranked in the top 20 of the Demon Emperor Championship, he could enter the Ancestral Land.
With his strength, it was easy.
Closing the panel, Su Nan was about to go find the Great Princess when a figure suddenly appeared in front of him. It was Hu Xiaotian.
Hu Xiaotian quickly said, âBrother, where have you been? The Sacred Blood Secret Realm is about to open.â
Su Nan naturally wouldnât tell that he had been to the Great Yu Dynasty. Noticing another piece of information in Hu Xiaotianâs words, he asked curiously, âSacred Blood Secret Realm? What is that?â
âYou donât know?â Hu Xiaotian was surprised but then realized something. âItâs your first time here in the Ten Thousand Demon Ridge, so itâs normal not to know.â
âThe Sacred Blood Secret Realm is a space opened by an ancient demon saint. It contains a kind of Talent Spirit Fruit that can help those without innate talent awaken their abilities.â
âEvery time the Demon Emperor Championship held its first day of selection, it would take place in the Sacred Blood Secret Realm. This is one of the benefits of participating in the Demon Emperor Championship.â
âOnce you enter the Sacred Blood Secret Realm, you can act freely, or you can find a place to hide. As long as you survive until only 100 competitors are left, youâll be fine.â
As he spoke, he took out a jade plate and said, âThis is the key to enter the Sacred Blood Secret Realm and also a token of your participation in the Demon Emperor Championship. If you encounter an insurmountable enemy in the secret realm, just crush the jade plate and youâll be teleported out directly.â
A Talent Spirit Fruit?
Su Nanâs eyes lit up. He had a Talent Spirit Fruit, which he had earned from a previous event.
He originally planned to consume it after merging with a King Level Bloodline to revert his bloodline to that of an ancient demon.
But it seems that he may not need to do that now.
In reality, those Demon Kings began reverting their bloodlines under the influence of Heaven and Earth Spirit. Killing them and refining their blood in the Xuanhuang Refining Qi Furnace would yield ancient demon refined blood.
He now had four drops of King Level ancient demon refined blood.
Of course, he wouldnât disdain Talent Spirit Fruits because of this. No one would feel that they had too many of these items.
Even if he had already awakened his talent by consuming ancient demon refined blood, continuing to consume Talent Spirit Fruits might yield other benefits.
Taking the jade plate, Su Nan suddenly noticed something astonishing. âBig brother, your cultivation level⦠â
Only now did he notice that Hu Xiaotianâs aura had increased significantly, reaching the level of an intermediate emperor-grade demon.
Hu Xiaotianâs mouth curled into a smile: âGood luck â I gained some benefits in the Heavenly Demon Hall yesterday.â
Gaining benefits in the Heavenly Demon Hall?
Su Nan suddenly understood. The reason those demon emperors were attracted to participate in the Demon Emperor Championship was that they could gain benefits in the Heavenly Demon Hall.
Right now, Hu Xiaotian had clearly reaped some great benefits, and his strength had improved as a result.
Perhaps because of his breakthrough, Hu Xiaotian was in a great mood and continued, âLittle brother, if this were one of the previous Demon Emperor Championships, you couldâve easily made it to the top 100, even the top 50. But this time is different.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âBe careful once you enter the Sacred Blood Secret Realm. Itâs a good idea to team up with others, or just find a place to hide. As long as you make it to the top 100, you can enter the Heavenly Demon Hall, and who knows, you might find some opportunities there.â
Su Nan said, âDonât worry, big brother, I know what to do.â
Hu Xiaotian nodded and didnât say anything more.
A short time later, Su Nan reached the halfway point of the Star Picking Peak.
From a distance, he could see the Great Princess and the others.
Another half an hour passed, and with the appearance of an intermediate Emperor-level old man who would be presiding over the selections, the contest officially began.
The Emperor-level old man took out a foot-long stone tablet. With the infusion of his power, the stone tablet expanded rapidly, instantly transforming into a huge stone tablet three feet high and one foot wide.
As the old man continued to pour in power, space twisted in the center of the stone tablet, and something similar to a spatial channel appeared.
Through that channel, one could vaguely see a vibrant space beyond it.
âIs that the Sacred Blood Space?â
Everyoneâs eyes lit up, and some people with quick reactions grabbed their entrance jade plates and rushed towards the portal in a flash.
Seeing this, the others also hurriedly followed suit and entered the portal one after another.
âLetâs go. We should go in too.â Su Nan followed the crowd at a leisurely pace, entering the portal with the Great Princess and others.
At the moment he stepped into the portal, the jade plate in his hand suddenly exuded a force, enveloping his entire body.
Immediately afterward, his vision changed, filled with alternating light and shadow, followed by a strong sense of weightlessness. He quickly reacted, releasing his power and adjusting his posture.
Once he had stabilized himself, Su Nan quickly scanned his surroundings, seeing nothing but ancient trees all around him.
The Great Princess and the others were not present.
âWas it a random teleport?â Su Nan understood what had happened.
He wasnât worried, though. From the information he had gathered, this secret realm didnât pose any dangers, and the main threats came from the competitors.
Of course, to him, those so-called competitors didnât amount to much.
If he wasnât worried about being watched by a Demon Emperor, he wouldnât mind killing a few talented individuals with King Level Bloodlines to accumulate refined blood.
Without blindly exploring, he first checked his personal panel.
There were less than ten minutes left before the game refreshed!
âIâll wait for the foreknowledge to refresh first and then use it.â
Just to be cautious, he decided to use his foreknowledge ability.
Time passed, and ten minutes flew by in an instant.
In the real world, it was already midnight.
Today marked the last day of the countdown for the fourth public test, and once it was over, the fourth public test would begin at this very moment tomorrow.
The tasks refreshed, and Lang Thirteenâs tasks appeared in front of him.
[Daily Task One: Explore Heavenly Demon Hall]
Task Difficulty: Four stars
[Daily Task Two: Make it to the top 100 in the Demon Emperor Championship]
Task Difficulty: Two stars
[Daily Task Three: Obtain a talent spirit fruit]
Task Difficulty: Two stars
Compared to yesterday, the task to kill a player had disappeared, replaced by a task to obtain a talent spirit fruit.
âAside from exploring Heavenly Demon Hall, the other two tasks can be easily accomplished.â
He then checked Wang Nanâs tasks.
[Daily Task One: Rescue one demon beast]
[Daily Task Two: Kill a emperor level demon beast]
[Daily Task Three: Sabotage the Demon Emperor Championship]
It was the same as yesterday, with no changes.
Finally, he looked at Zhang Yangâs tasks.
Due to his breakthrough to the King Level, the difficulty of Zhang Yangâs tasks had decreased, just like Wang Nanâs and Lang Thirteenâs tasks.
[Daily Task One: Hunt down one demon beast]
Task Difficulty: Four stars
Task Reward: 75 Demon Power Points
[Daily Task Two: Hunt down an emperor level demon beast]
Task Difficulty: Three stars
Task Reward: 60 Demon Power points
[Daily Task Three: Hunt down a king level demon beast]
Task Difficulty: Two stars
Task Reward: 45 Demon Power points
A four-star, a three-star, and a two-star task. It was already considered high quality by now.
Su Nan understood the reason behind it.
Yesterday at the Cave Immortal Old Manâs cave, he had sealed an early-stage emperor level demon beast in his sleeve, and in Godâs Forsaken Land, he had captured an emperor-level Soul Eating Demon.
Now, corresponding tasks for both of them had appeared.
âNot bad. Completing these tasks today will earn me another two or three hundred demon power points. At this pace, Iâll have enough power points to cultivate the Four-Seasons Reincarnation Scripture in just two or three days.â
He closed the task panel and looked at his foreknowledge ability.
At that moment, he suddenly detected something and looked to one side.
He saw a figure quietly approaching him, and when the youth realized that he had been exposed, he stepped out and said, âBrother, you seem to be alone as well. How about we team up?â
Team up?
Su Nan shook his head and replied, âNo need, I have no interest in teaming up.â
The youth was only at the early stage of King Level, so asking him to team up with someone at that level was really looking down on him.
Feeling a bit annoyed by Su Nanâs refusal, the youth insisted, âFor us early-stage King Level beings, itâs difficult to make it into the top 100 alone. Teaming up is our best bet.â
