Fifty million miles sounds like a long distance, but Andrew and his group arrived in just over three days. Stepping out of the Metallic Lifeform, a towering mountain came into view.
Towering, truly towering... Before seeing such a mountain, Andrew could never have imagined that there could be such a tall mountain in the world!
"Wow, this mountain must be over 100,000 meters high!" exclaimed a Midgod in the group. Beside him, a Highgod chuckled, "It's about 100,000 meters, but that's nothing special. There are quite a few mountains over 200,000 meters high on the Kalosha Continent."
Those around him looked at this Highgod with admiration, all impressed by his erudition.
Andrew also snapped out of his shock, chuckling to himself. He knew that the highest mountain in the Netherworld, Nether Mountain, was a million meters high. Compared to that, the mountain in front of him was nothing.
" The Higher Plane are truly full of wonders; I'll have to learn to get used to them."
"Alright, everyone!" the fat demon shouted, "The band of bandits we're tasked with wiping out is right here on Mount Yufu. We must hurry, or we'll be in even greater danger if we're discovered."
Led by the five demons, the group flew towards Mount Yufu.
Mount Yufu is a majestic mountain, but its terrain is desolate. However, it is still a good place. Controlling this place means controlling a territory spanning hundreds of thousands of miles. The fact that these bandits have the power to occupy this place shows that they are quite strong.
Not long after they arrived on the mountain, Andrew and his group encountered a patrol of Lowgod. Without the five demons needing to intervene, the participants in the assessment had already wiped them out. However, these people did not possess Golden Badge, which disappointed everyone.
As they continued up the mountain, they encountered more and more patrols. However, most of these were Lowgod, with only a few Midgod. They were no match for Andrew group. It wasn't until they reached the summit that the bandits revealed their true strength...
"You've finally arrived!" a bald, burly man among the bandits shouted, his voice echoing around them. Beside Andrew, a Midgod was nearly knocked unconscious by the shock.
" Soul Attack?" Andrew's eyes lit up. The big man had just used a sonic wave containing Soul Attack.
"Not bad, a high-level Wind Element Highgod, having fused at least three profound Mysteries, his strength should be comparable to Five-Star Fiend!" Andrew quickly made a judgment in his mind.
Five-Star Fiend are already among the strongest in the Infernal Realm. Keep in mind that while there are many demons in the Infernal Realm, they are insignificant compared to the Infernal Realm's population. And within Fiend Castle, Five-Star Fiend is considered a mid-to-high-level force.
" Kuabu Meien, did you know we were coming?" The tall, thin demon shot out and landed not far from the bald bandit.
Kuabu Meien sneered, "I robbed the Saist Clan's caravan, killed two of their young masters and a young lady, how could they let me go... Hmph, I knew the treacherous Saist Clan would issue Fiend Mission!"
The tall, thin demon looked down at him. "Knowing we were coming, you still dared to stay here? How foolish!"
Kuabu Meien laughed loudly, "So what if you're here? Anyone who opposes the Golden Hammer Gang, even a demon, will die!"
"Arrogant!" the tall, thin demon roared. "Kill them!"
With a wave of his hand, everyone participating in the demon trial drew their weapons, and at the same time, five demons surrounded Kuabu Meien.
Not to be outdone, Kuabu Meien immediately gave orders to his subordinates, and behind him, more than a hundred Highgod instantly formed a battle formation.
" Soul Attack!"
Kuabu Meien stood at the forefront of the battle formation, wielding his weapons with his men behind him. Instantly, countless illusory images flew out from the weapons, heading towards the five demons. The powerful shockwaves generated by the attack even moved Andrew.
" Soul Attack of hundreds of Highgod possesses such immense power! If tens of thousands of people attacked together, even Asura powerhouse wouldn't dare to withstand it head-on."
The Soul Attack was fast, but the tall, thin men, being demons, were very experienced in combat. As soon as the attack started, the five of them scattered in all directions to avoid it.
However, those who participated in the assessment for the first time were not so lucky. Anyone within the range of the attack, whether Highgod or Midgod, died.
In that single moment, over twenty of Andrew's more than one hundred people were sent away...
Andrew ignored everyone else and stealthily moved to the edge of the battlefield. His goal was clear: to seize the wealth accumulated by this band of robbers. Obtaining the Golden Badge was secondary.
The five demons quickly charged into Kuabu Meien's battle formation. The tall, thin one and the fat one took the lead, disrupting the formation, while the other three demons entangled Kuabu Meien. Soon, the powerful battle formation was shattered...
"Ah!"
Seeing his subordinates dying one after another, Kuabu Meien roared, a roar much louder than his usual speech. With that roar, the Midgod fell silently, and even some of the Highgod paused for a moment.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Kuabu Meien broke free from the five demons and charged towards the Highgod who were undergoing their first trial.
Generally speaking, Highgod who independently comprehends profound Mysteries possesses the strength of Four-Star Fiend, while Highgod Refine Divine Spark is weaker, possessing only the strength of Three-Star Fiend. Three-Star Fiend has absolutely no power to resist Five-Star Fiend...
"Puff..."
"Bang!" Kuabu Meien's attack was swift, and in the blink of an eye, he had killed seven or eight examinees.
Seeing this, the five demons didn't turn back and began killing the Highgod among the bandits. The situation had changed from generals against generals to generals against soldiers, and the slaughter was very swift. Soon, the demons were left with only about twenty Highgod, while the bandits were left with only Kuabu Meien.
At this moment, the five demons surrounded Kuabu Meien again.
"You can't escape!" the fat devil said.
Kuabu Meien wasn't saddened by the deaths of his men; on the contrary, Andrew felt that he was in a somewhat... excited, frenzied state!
"Hahaha... Do you know how long I've been here?" Kuabu Meien seemed to be thinking of something and became somewhat smug.
"Hmm?" The remaining people looked at each other, wondering what Kuabu Meien was going to say.
"I tell you, I've been a bandit in Kunsha Prefecture for over seven million years!"
Kuabu Meien's words startled Andrew. Kuabu Meien had been a bandit for over seven million years; he was incredibly lucky to still be alive! And how much wealth must he have accumulated over seven million years?
"Even the wealth of some small families probably can't compare to his."
Seeing the greedy gazes of the demons around him, Kuabu Meien smiled coldly.
"In the Infernal Realm, what does wealth matter? What does Inkstone matter? Only strength matters. I know that very well..."
"I want to improve my strength, but it's extremely difficult. I've cultivated for tens of millions of years, and my strength hasn't improved at all. However, with immense wealth, I can buy quite a few things to enhance my strength!"
As he spoke, a dark cyan armor appeared around Kuabu Meien's body; it was a Material Defense Artifact. Divine Power flowed across the dark cyan armor, and judging by its grade, it was Highgod Artifact.
At the same time, a long spear appeared in Kuabu Meien's hand, which was also Highgod Artifact.
"Why didn't you take it out just now?" the tall, thin man asked.
Kuabu Meien snorted, "You don't need to know that. But I still want to thank you today for killing all these troublesome things."
The fat demon scoffed at his actions, saying, "Do you think you can escape with just two Highgod Artifact?"
Kuabu Meien around, his gaze landing on Andrew with slight surprise. However, he didn't say anything, but instead took out a drop of black water. The black water droplet floated quietly in his palm, emanating a strong aura of destruction.
" The Sovereign’s Might!"
As soon as the water droplet appeared, the five demons cried out in alarm. At the same time, they immediately fled in different directions. The remaining twenty-odd examinees were stunned for a moment, and then followed suit.
"Trying to run? Heh heh, too late..." Kuabu Meien infused the Sovereign’s Might into his body. Instantly, his body was enveloped in black Divine Power Divine Power, which was incredibly solid, heavy, and powerful...
With a cold smile, Kuabu Meien suddenly created dozens of clones, each carrying the aura of Sovereign’s Might, and chased after the fleeing demon.
"His speed has increased at least a hundredfold... This Kuabu Meien is a high -Wind Element Highgod who uses the Destruction Sovereign Power. His strength has increased a hundredfold. With his strength as Five-Star Fiend, he is now capable of contending with Seven-Star Fiend. Those who came for the assessment this time are definitely no match for him."
Andrew saw everything clearly from the sidelines, but he had no intention of intervening. The Demon Trial was inherently extremely brutal, and total annihilation was a common occurrence. Everyone who came to participate in the Demon Trial was prepared for this.
