Holy Gulf City, The Great Thousand Palace.
The gray-robed elder was standing before the cabinet and carefully cleaning the exquisite jade vase in his hands. Suddenly, his palms shook, and he lifted his head with great force. His clouded eyes surged with a bright glow. He then saw the Demon Slayer Stela that stood in the center of the Holy Gulf City.
At the same time, the gigantic Demon Slayer Stela vibrated with a buzzing sound. The vibration attracted countless people's attention in the city. They looked over with curiosity and doubts. Apparently, this was the first time they had seen such activity coming from the Demon Slayer Stela.
”What's going on?” Just as numerous doubtful voices were heard, a dazzling golden light appeared on the stela. The golden light flickered at the top of the stela like a golden sun. The golden radiance shrouded the entire city. Countless Demon Slayers in the Holy Gulf City sensed ambiguous oppression within the golden radiance.
The golden light persisted for over ten minutes before it finally dissipated. As the light disappeared, all eyes were on it. The next moment, the boisterous city instantly fell into silence.
Crash!
The jade vase fell from the gray-robed elder's hands and smashed into pieces on the floor. However, the elder did not move at all. He was staring at the Demon Slayer Stela with a dull look.
Back in the recruitment area, things fell out of the hands of many Demon Slayers. A string of crisp, clear sounds could be heard. Everyone looked dumbfounded.
Someone murmured, ”This… What kind of sh*t is this?!”
As the golden light on top of the Demon Slayer Stela dissipated in the quiet city, a new line of golden words appeared under the Demon Slayer King, Qin Tian…
”Demon Slayer King, Mu Chen!”
Wow!
The city finally woke up from its silence. Overwhelming exclamations instantly resounded in the city. Apparently, everyone was shocked by the sudden appearance of the new Demon Slayer King.
Most of the people in the Holy Gulf City were Demon Slayers from the Great Thousand Palace. Hence, they knew what being a Demon Slayer King meant… This was what they had been working towards their entire lives. Once they became a Demon Slayer King, they could enter the superior level in the Great Thousand Palace and enjoy a prestigious status. Various supreme powers would also treat them with respect in the Great Thousand World.
The reputation of the Demon Slayer Kings from the Great Thousand Palace was on par with those leaders from the top supreme powers. Many Demon Slayers worked hard for it, but to get the 10,000 demons-slayed points in this peaceful time was too far-fetched. While killing a Heaven Demon Emperor could up the level immediately, no one had thought of that idea.
The Heaven Demon Emperor – an existence that could counter the Divine Heavenly Sovereign – was one of the highest summits in the Extraterritorial Race and the Great Thousand World. No one dared to conquer the Heaven Demon Emperor.
Since becoming a Demon Slayer King was such a far-fetched goal, these Demon Slayers felt shocked and incredulous when an unfamiliar Demon Slayer King emerged on the Demon Slayer Stela.
”Who is Mu Chen? Why haven't I heard of this name before?”
”He was not on the list of High Rank Demon Slayers.”
”What? Did he rise from the Middle Rank or the Low Rank, then?”
”Nonsense. He could not have done it unless he killed a few Demon Emperors in one go.”
”…”
Noisy commotion broke out in the Holy Gulf City. Countless doubts and debates went on around the city.
The gray-robed elder in front of the cabinet regained his senses. He stared at the golden font on the second row with doubts flickering in his eyes. ”Mu Chen? Is he that lad who was brought by the Old Drunken Man previously? But he just got his Demon Slayer Token, so he should be a Low Rank Demon Slayer only… Unless…”
