Chapter 880: Seventh-ranked Half-Demon (2/2)

One was a man with a beast body and a human head. The other was a mermaid with silver hair.

Feiyun activated his heavenly gaze and saw that they were first-generation half-demons as well. Their blood was quite pure.

They stared back at him.

‘Looks like there are top geniuses among the half-demons too.’ He thought.

“Rise.” The voice from within the flames was young yet dignified.

People felt the pressure easing so they stood up.

A faint figure emerged with long hair draping downward. She looked like a god as she spoke with an angelic voice: “The 7,432 of you are elites among elites but in the next few days, only 100 will be part of the first camp. The rest will have to return to your own domain to keep on training. I will be your teacher during this period. You may ask me any questions regarding cultivation. After we enter the battlefield, I shall be your leader and guide you to kill the external invaders for the glory of our race.”

“Our lives for the prestige and honor of the half-demons!” The crowd roared back.

The flames gradually dispersed and disappeared from the platform.

Next came a few ceremonies before the competition. For example, offering respect to the God of the Half-demons.

This “god”, in reality, was a godfiend worshipped by the half-demons.

Feiyun has seen its statue before back in Season Domain and had offered some incense sticks.

This god was the strongest pillar of the half-demon alliances, the reason why this race could survive until now. It enjoyed the power of faith and worship from the realms; its divinity was immense.

As long as this god stays alive, so would the alliance.

Some said that it was the reason why half-demons were allowed to enter the battlefield. This was the result of negotiation between this god and the true masters of Sixth Central.

The hunchback old man held an iron scroll while speaking: “The first round commences now. I will be explaining the rules. There is a lake three thousand miles from here. Go and fetch a ladle of water. Those who can’t return before nightfall are eliminated.”

“Let me warn you that the road isn’t safe. You will be crossing a beast forest and a fiery mountain range. Even if you can make it to the lake, be wary of the beasts in the lake. Don’t get eaten now.”

After he finished speaking, everyone rushed out of the alliance and ran towards the lake.

Feiyun was naturally among them.

‘The gravity in Crimson Leaf is immense. Our cultivation and speed are utterly suppressed. Three thousand miles in one day is difficult even for a first-level Nirvana cultivation, let alone a round trip.’

‘This mission seems simple but is actually quite tough with dangers everywhere.’ Feiyun contemplated along the way: ‘This is a test of our speed and how well we can deal with obstacles.’

After thinking it through, he no longer held back and activated his Swift Samsara. He became as fast as a lion and entered the forest, leaping from one old tree to another.

It didn’t take long before he had finished one hundred miles.

In the beginning, he saw others behind him. Eventually, only a few were within sight.

These were the half-demons who were gifted in speed. They had prestigious bloodlines on top of specializing in movement techniques.

Feiyun wasn’t the only genius in this world and wasn’t the only one who found cultivation fortunes.

Some were at the peak historical genius level. A few were taught by Heaven’s Emergence cultivation or found legacies of great demons.

To be the top half-demons of a domain meant they were brilliant and capable of fighting above their cultivation realm. Moreover, they had plenty of secret cards too.

Nonetheless, Feiyun was still in front and made it to the lake before noon.
