Chapter 484A – Paying Respects to the Demon Statue (1/2)

The once in a century Demon Ascension Gate was a grand ceremony for the Demonic Path to absorb some fresh new blood. It was their way of attracting the most talented individuals in the world, thus this event attracted attention from everyone who followed the demonic path. Heavenly Demon City was responsible for hosting it. Because of this, the entire city was placed under martial law. Without permission, no one could leave or enter. This was to prevent any possible incidents from occurring at the grand ceremony.

12 transmission arrays were scattered around a square. Outside of each transmission array, there were Demonic Path cultivators standing and waiting in silence. They did not speak a single word and the atmosphere around them was cold and sharp. It made them seem as if they were beasts in human form, ready to devour anyone that approached them.

Suddenly, in the southeast corner of the square, a transmission array began to light up. The runes s.h.i.+mmered and s.p.a.ce violently shook as ripples appeared.

A group of cultivators slowly emerged from the spatial ripples.

Shua –

Qin Yu opened his eyes. When he felt the spatial fluctuations around him rapidly fading, he knew that the transmission was about to come to an end.

As expected, after several breaths of time the kaleidoscope of colors around him began to fade away and the surrounding environment became increasingly clear.

“The Black Demon Sect has 257 partic.i.p.ants joining the Demon Ascension Gate. Count them!”

A loud shout entered Qin Yu’s ears, causing his heart to skip a beat. This voice was a little hoa.r.s.e but it wasn’t too difficult to hear. There wasn’t any excess strength within it, but it actually gave off a horrifying feeling.

Just listening to this voice, one felt as if they fell into an asura h.e.l.l. A rich smell of blood flooded the senses, causing several people to almost vomit.

At the side, the Black Demon Sect cultivators chosen to enter the Demon Ascension Gate all had pallid complexions. Shock and fear was written in their faces.

This Demonic Path cultivator was terrifyingly strong!

In particular, there was a dense slaughter energy to this voice, one so rich that it almost substantialized. It was unknown just how many people this person had killed to accomplish this.

“Senior-apprentice brother, the count is correct.”

“Bring them away.”

The Black Demon Sect people walked out of the transmission array. It was only then that Qin Yu saw the Demonic Path cultivator who had an incredible amount of slaughter energy around him. This person was slender and his complexion was especially pale, as if he had a loss of blood energy. He gave off a weak and feeble feeling, completely different from what everyone had imagined.

What was particularly strange was that this person’s aura was volatile and uncertain. He clearly seemed as if he had just entered the Blue Sea realm, but he actually gave off an unfathomable feeling.

Several breaths of relief came from the Black Demon Sect cultivators who emerged from the array formation. When they discovered that he only had an initial Blue Sea realm cultivation, they relaxed a bit and became much calmer.

Qin Yu secretly shook his head. These Black Demon Sect cultivators underestimated this person far too much. If they were to fight, even if all of them gathered together, they wouldn’t be this person’s match.

This was truly worthy of the Demonic Path. In the Land of Divinity and Demons, it was the only super influence that was capable of standing on par with the Immortal Sect. There were formidable geniuses everywhere.

“Bring them to pay their respects to the demon statue.” After giving an order, this person turned and left. This seemingly irresponsible behavior didn’t stir up any annoyance. Instead, the other Demonic Path cultivators bowed and looked towards the person as he walked away with wors.h.i.+p in their eyes.

Straightening themselves and turning towards the Black Demon Sect cultivators, one of the Demonic Path cultivators said, “Follow us. Don’t lag behind on the road, otherwise you will lose your little lives. Don’t blame us for not reminding you of this.”

The Black Demon Sect people had indignant expressions. If they were chosen to attend the grand ceremony of the Demon Ascension Gate, they could all be considered talented elites of their time. It was natural for them to be proud and arrogant.

“What, you aren’t convinced? If you can enter the Demonic Path, you can come look for us at any time. But right now, it would be best if you are all a bit more obedient!” With a cold sneer, the several Demonic Path cultivators dispersed, surrounding the 257 people and leading them out of the square.

Another group came from the southwest side of the square, both of them going the same direction. They inevitably b.u.mped into each other at the square’s exit. A Demonic Path cultivator bowed, “Greetings, senior-apprentice brother Zhou.”
