"Senior Brother, the Heavenly Devil Battlefield is exceedingly dangerous. Though your combat strength is formidable, you must not underestimate it. Last year, ten thousand Outer Sect Disciples took part in the assessment. A full three thousand died, several thousand went mad and became mentally deranged, and several thousand were rescued. Only two or three hundred passed. I wonder whether more people will pass this year and become Inner Sect Disciples?" Wan Hailan said gravely.
Fang Xuan frowned as well. Heavenly devils were formless and intangible. They favored flesh and blood brimming with yang energy, were skilled at transformation, and excelled at schemes that tempted the heart. One careless mistake, and they would devour their victim.
Fang Xuan had seen earth devils before and killed quite a few. He had been able to take the Inner Sect Disciple assessment only because he had slain an asura and offered up its bone spike.
Heavenly devils differed from earth devils. Ordinary heavenly devils were merely a wisp of thought, while slightly stronger ones were no more than a current of air, much like yin souls and ghosts. Only exceptionally powerful heavenly devils could condense a true form with their potent demonic will and transform into demon kings.
The demon kings among heavenly devils were like the Great Asuras among earth devils, equivalent to experts of the Mystic Divine Realm in the immortal path.
The demon gods among heavenly devils and earth devils were experts of the Eternal Life Realm.
However, since this place was meant to test Outer Sect Disciples, demon kings could not possibly appear. If they did, it would not be an assessment, but a massacre.
Even so, the formless heavenly devils could enter one's mind at any moment, invade one's thoughts, and seize one's body. That was still terrifying.
