Evil Spirit Festival Ends, Demon Seed Fusion

Exit of the Evil Spirit Secret Realm.

The vast plaza was now densely packed with figures. Looking around, they were all young people with considerable strength, naturally all the prodigies who had survived the Evil Spirit Festival.

Opposite these prodigies of the Evil Spirit Race, a dozen beings with auras as vast as the Yuan Hai were sizing up the quality of this year's Evil Spirit Festival prodigies. Most of them were Evil Clan with obvious characteristics such as Blade Demon and Blood Demon, while a few Evil Spirit Race powerhouses with not weak auras but clearly in the lower ranks were all inspectors of this Evil Spirit Festival.

There was another being, seated high on Throne, with two enormous battle swords on his arms. Compared to the other inspectors, he possessed a far more profound aura. This was none other than the one in charge of this Evil Spirit Festival, the Heaven Slaying Demon Emperor.

The latter calmly looked down at the plaza, observing the beings below who resembled ants, pondering the compensation offered by the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor.

"Hmm, the quality of the Evil Spirit Festival this time is quite good."

A calm yet undeniable voice slowly echoed through the space, "The Evil Spirit Festival is now over. Be thankful, you little brats, you—survived to the end."

The words echoed throughout the square, and all the geniuses of the Evil Spirit Race were completely relieved. Cheers erupted one after another, and many familiar young people even began to discuss the celebration ceremony.

Among the crowd, a boy standing relatively close to the front also breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's finally over."

Jiang Lingxian felt completely relieved. Whenever he thought about his experiences over the past three years, he couldn't help but marvel at his luck in surviving to the end in such a fierce battlefield!

And----

Jiang Lingxian felt the abundant power within his body, and the Purple Eye in his palms seemed to be stirring restlessly. This trip to the Evil Spirit Secret Realm had truly given him an opportunity to defy fate.

The jubilant atmosphere on the field didn't last long before it was interrupted by the same voice, "Next, the rewards for the outstanding participants of this Evil Spirit Festival will be distributed."

"Oh!" Upon hearing this, everyone showed anticipation, especially after hearing the final announcement, their envy became even more undisguised.

"This time, one thousand King-level prodigies will step forward! They will be granted King-level Demon Seed!"

After speaking, seemingly feeling that the importance of the reward had not been fully demonstrated, the Heaven Slaying Demon Emperor added with a smile, "You are truly blessed. To be able to obtain Demon Seed, a divine object that aids cultivation, is something even the geniuses of my Evil Clan would find difficult to acquire."

Then, ignoring the reactions of others, several slightly thin figures from the inspectorate stepped out of the group, each unfolding a book that exuded a strong Evil Qi. With a wave of their hands, tiny black specks of light floated in the air like seeds—the very Demon Seed that the Heaven Slaying Demon Emperor.

As the inspectors whispered among themselves, the Demon Seed, which had been quietly floating in the air, seemed to be summoned and merged directly into the thousand figures that had already stepped forward.

"Sitting cross-legged with eyes closed, I focused intently on refining the Demon Seed, transforming it into Evil Qi."

The stern voices of several Evil Clan Demon Emperor rang in everyone's ears. Even the King-level prodigies dared not be negligent and hurriedly followed the instructions of the inspector. All the Evil Spirit Race were keenly aware of their own status.

The crowd watched the figure sitting cross-legged with quiet tension. The fusion of the Demon Seed did not last long, only a quarter of an hour. Suddenly, a violent fluctuation erupted from a certain place in the square, and a powerful aura suddenly surged up.

Feeling the oppressive aura emanating from the former, the crowd gasped in surprise, "He—he actually advanced to Demon General!?"

The Demon General, comparable to the Supreme Realm of the Great Thousand World, is insignificant compared to the entire Evil Clan.

However, considering that the other party is just a young man under thirty, it is quite frightening. And with the former's original strength, it would take at least several years of painstaking effort to advance to the level of Demon General.

Is this the benefit brought by the Demon Seed?

Many young geniuses looked increasingly impatient.

In the following two hours, more and more people successfully fused with the Demon Seed, and the power they unleashed continued to increase. The strongest among them even reached the peak of the lower realm of Demon General (comparable to the third level of the supreme Supreme)!

"Hmm, not bad, it seems you're quite compatible with the Demon Seed."

A Demon Emperor looked at the only King-level genius who had reached the peak of the lower Demon General realm with a smile and praised him.

"Thank you, sir!"

Feeling his own strength improve to the point of almost instantaneous growth, the genius was quite excited and thanked the other party, while the others looked on with envy.

But no one noticed the mockery in the eyes of those powerful Evil Clan, or the helplessness and sorrow in the eyes of the Demon Emperor of the Evil Spirit Race.

"Okay, next----"

Under the expectant gazes of the crowd, another Demon Emperor stepped forward, "Fifty Emperor-level prodigies, step forward!"

It was clear that even the Demon Emperor of the Evil Clan sounded somewhat surprised, especially the one looking at the information displayed in the book, "This time, Demon Emperor of them have actually reached the Emperor-level!"

"Hmm! Not bad! Quite good!"

After all, in the past, having twenty or so Emperor-level geniuses would have been considered a great harvest, but now the number has more than doubled.

However, this was only the beginning of the Demon Emperor's shock. He soon noticed one person's unique name, "Jiang Lingxian? Qi Ling City? Where are you from?"

The Demon Emperor, holding the book, was filled with doubt. Compared to the illustrious backgrounds and masters of other Emperor-level prodigies, Jiang Lingxian's background was utterly impoverished. He came from a remote and unknown place like Qi Ling City, and was even an orphan!?

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

Seeing his subordinate's unusual behavior, the Heaven Slaying Demon Emperor glanced over with slight displeasure. The former dared not be negligent and quickly expressed his surprise to the Heaven Slaying Demon Emperor. The latter also became interested and casually beckoned the book from the Demon Emperor's hand.

Following the book's guidance, the Heaven Slaying Demon Emperor quickly found Jiang Lingxian conjured a pair of giant black hands and, amidst the latter's panic, pulled him over.

"Jiang Lingxian?" "He actually advanced from the Marshal-level to the Emperor-level? His luck is extraordinary!"

With a thought, his spiritual power enveloped Jiang Lingxian's entire body, disregarding the latter's wishes, and thoroughly examined him inside Jiang Lingxian out. "There are even traces of body tempering? There's a considerable power hidden within him, and it's even Evil Spirit Power? It seems he received the inheritance of a powerful Evil Spirit Race in the secret realm~"

Then, Jiang Lingxian was thrown back to where he was, still in shock.

Just moments ago, when he was forcibly grabbed by that Evil Clan lord, he almost thought that his senior's affairs had been exposed. He was relieved to find that the other party was only slightly interested.

At the same time, Jiang Lingxian felt a chill run down his spine at the fact that the Heaven Slaying Demon Emperor Zhantian had seen through all his secrets. If the things his senior had left in his body had been discovered, he wouldn't be able to leave alive.

On second thought, if even this Evil Clan leader couldn't detect the senior's methods, how strong could the senior himself be?

However, the Demon Emperor, who was in charge of distributing the Demon Seed, did not give Jiang Lingxian a chance to compare. As the black light spots merged into his body, a familiar voice entered his ears, "Cross your legs, close your eyes, and focus on refining the Demon Seed, transforming them into Evil Qi."

Jiang Lingxian closed his eyes and followed the instructions to infuse the Demon Seed into his body. The extremely pure Demonic Qi instantly flowed into his limbs and bones along with the Evil Qi. He clearly felt his power rapidly increasing, and in just a moment he broke through the threshold of the Demon General and surged towards a higher level.

This feeling is so captivating that no one notices the spiderweb-like black patterns spreading within the body, before being enveloped by countless strands of icy blue energy, firmly confining it to a certain area.

No one on the Demon Emperor noticed that in a corner of Jiang Lingxian's spiritual sea, a snowflake-shaped ice crystal was emitting a clear, cool light.

At this moment, Xiao Han, who had found a place to stay in Wu King City, suddenly trembled. Following his senses, he looked at a certain void, his eyes filled with worry.

"Demon General the upper realm, not bad!"

When Jiang Lingxian awoke, many Demon Emperor sensed his aura and nodded slightly. Such cultivation was comparable to the middle three realms of the Supreme of the Great Thousand World, which was quite impressive.

The time it took for the Emperor-level prodigies to integrate with the Demon Seed was significantly longer than that of the King-level, taking a whole day to complete the integration. The highest cultivation level among them reached the peak of the Upper Demon General realm. Jiang Lingxian's cultivation level was not particularly outstanding among them.

"Finally, one Supreme-level Prodigy."

As the Demon Emperor announced this, a figure exuding a strong scholarly air slowly stepped forward, his eyes devoid of joy or sorrow. Sensing the figure's aura, everyone, including Jiang Lingxian, gasped sharply, "The General Mo Mo?"

This is the only being who advanced to Demon General before fusing with Demon Seed!

After the other party fused with the Demon Seed ----

How strong will it be?
