"Your mission this time will take place in Black Demon Mountain, 20 million miles away from Tagan City! Based on the speed at which Metal Lifeform fly, it is estimated that it will take about 20 days to reach your destination," the Dragon-Man Race man said in a deep voice.

After the Dragon-Man Race man spoke, the rear compartment of the Metal Lifeform fell silent.

The thousand God who were participating in the Fiend Trial listened attentively.

"Anyone familiar with Fiend should know that Fiend can accept quests at the Fiend Castle! These quests are tiered!"

"As for your assessment task, it is a one-star task that we selected from a large number of tasks, suitable for you!"

The Dragon-Man Race man, his eyes bloodshot, looked at the crowd and said, "Once you complete this mission, you will naturally become One-Star Fiend!"

"As for the detailed explanation of the mission, Noel, you speak." The Dragon-Man Race stepped aside, and behind him, an Spirit Clan lady in a green robe stepped forward.

Miss Noel's voice was very gentle. "The location of this mission is Black Demon Mountain! A very powerful expert lives in seclusion on Black Demon Mountain. He has an extremely terrifying pet, as well as many other subordinates."

"Your mission is to kill any member of the Black Demon Mountain Guards. Remember... after killing them, you must hand over their identification tokens. Only these tokens will prove you've completed your mission!"

Soon after the elven woman finished speaking, the entire rear cabin erupted in commotion. Several God began asking about other details and precautions, while Luo Ao pondered the strength of the Black Demon Mountain master.

Luo Ao knew that many Fiend Mission were actually broken down into several levels. Although this mission was supposed to be Fiend Trial for them, the real protagonists were those powerful Highgod Fiend going to advance to higher star levels.

"I wonder what that guy's exact strength is." Luo Ao's gaze subtly shifted to a long-haired blond man in the front cabin.

Although the Fiend badges of Highgod Fiend are identical and cannot be distinguished by appearance, the respectful attitude of the other Highgod Fiend clearly shows that this golden-haired youth is undoubtedly the strongest among all the Fiend on this trip!

"Mr. Aslan, I'll be relying on your care again on this trip..."

"With Lord Aslan involved, that Lord of Black Demon Mountain is doomed to perish this time..."

Beside this golden-haired youth, there were occasionally some Highgod Fiend praising him, but Aslan simply sat there, eyes closed, resting, his golden hair casually draped over his shoulders, completely ignoring the others around him.

Clearly, for Aslan, the flattery of a group of weaklings was meaningless; his only target this time was the master of Black Demon Mountain!

"This Aslan is quite interesting." Luo Ao could vaguely sense that Aslan was probably not a simple person.

Twenty days passed quickly, and the Metal Lifeform stopped some distance from Black Demon Mountain.

"After you leave, just travel a few more miles north, and you will see Black Demon Mountain."

The Dragon-Man Race man spoke in a deep voice from the rear cabin, "This isn't Tagan City. Life and death can break out at any moment, so everyone needs to be careful. We'll wait here quietly for you. Whoever successfully completes the mission can return to the Metal Lifeform."

"Let's go." Luo Ao and Echidna followed the crowd through the corridor and gradually walked outside. A group of people busily disembarked from the Metal Lifeform.

At this moment, on the vast land outside the Metal Lifeform, there were twenty or thirty Fiend gathered there, but the most conspicuous among them was undoubtedly Aslan.

After disembarking from the Metal Lifeform, Luo Ao discovered that the other party was nearly three meters tall, looking like a small giant. Moreover, his eyes and eyebrows were golden, and his long golden hair was casually draped over his shoulders, making him look exceptionally rugged, like a lion king patrolling his territory.

As Luo Ao secretly observed ' Aslan ', Aslan seemed to sense something and turned around instantly!

In an instant, their eyes met!

Aslan has remarkably sharp intuition, which is related to his racial talent. It is precisely because of this keen intuition that he has survived one dangerous mission after another.

Aslan's intuition told him that this God could actually give him a sense of awe, which meant that this person was no ordinary person.

Luo Ao smiled calmly at him, then looked away, no longer meeting his gaze, and stood quietly on the open ground to the side, waiting for the mission to begin.

Aslan, remembering his mission, suppressed his urge to fight.

"Everyone, we understand you've come to participate in the Fiend Trial." A voice boomed like thunder in the minds of the thousand people, including Luo Ao. "We are different from you. Our mission is far more perilous than yours. We hope you won't hold us back. Alright, everyone, are you ready? Let's set off."

"This silver-haired youth seems to be quite strong as well." Luo Ao looked at the silver-haired youth who had just spoken. The youth was completely covered in a set of sky-blue armor, and always held a blue War Blade with an extraordinary aura in his hand.

"It seems the master of Black Demon Mountain is no ordinary person; so many powerful individuals have participated in this mission." Luo Ao could sense that although the silver-haired youth's strength was not as great as Aslan's, it was not weak either.

Before Luo Ao could think further, the silver-haired youth continued to transmit his thoughts telepathically, "We're heading to Black Demon Mountain now. All one thousand of you will follow behind us."

immediately--

Led by Aslan and the silver-haired youth, the other twenty-odd Fiend simultaneously took to the air and flew towards the Black Demon Mountain.

Immediately, the thousand-strong army participating in the Fiend Trial also took to the air, and Luo Ao and Ao naturally mingled among them, flying towards Black Demon Mountain at the same time.

******

Black Demon Mountain.

This is not a continuous mountain range, but rather a solitary peak, like the ' Sky-Piercing Peak,' standing abruptly on the surrounding land.

Although it is just a solitary peak, this Black Demon Mountain does indeed look extraordinary, and even from a distance, everyone can feel a soaring bloodthirsty aura gathering here.

"Ahead lies Black Demon Mountain." Before them, a solitary black mountain stood on the endless plain, shrouded in a thin layer of blood-red mist, obscuring the view within.

More than twenty Fiend and a thousand God stood directly in front of Black Demon Mountain.

Aslan, exuding an aura of power akin to a golden lion king, led the group. Beside him stood a silver-haired youth clad in sky-blue armor. The two took to the air almost simultaneously, hurtling towards Black Demon Mountain at breakneck speed. And then... the other Fiend followed suit.

"Let's go." Luo Ao and his thousand men did not hesitate and immediately took to the air.

"Call out!"

Two phantom figures were the first to rush into the Black Demon Mountain; these two were none other than Aslan and the silver-haired youth Pero.

"Such a heavy malevolent aura..." After the two entered the Black Demon Mountain, they discovered that the entire Black Demon Mountain was constantly emitting a soaring malevolent aura that resembled blood mist.

While the two of them could ignore the effects of this malevolent energy, others would likely be inevitably disturbed.
