Chapter 140: Demonic Race Appears, Ten Thousand Disciples

A hoarse, low voice echoed in Lin Bunfan's sea of consciousness.

He immediately became alert.

"Who? Who's speaking!"

Lin Bunfan looked around in panic, but there wasn't a single figure around him.

He was greatly shocked in his heart.

Still, he had some confidence, for the guardian his family had assigned was lurking in the dark.

On this land of the Northern Region, those who could move him could be counted on one's fingers, let alone that he still had several life-saving trump cards.

"Don't panic, I, the king, have come to help you."

"I can give you power tens of thousands of times greater than yours, and I can help you become a powerhouse of the Wasteland Martial Continent."

The voice in Lin Bunfan's sea of consciousness continued to transmit.

"No need, get lost right away."

"Otherwise, don't blame me for dragging out that little rat hiding in the dark!"

Lin Bunfan said firmly with a fierce gaze.

There's no such thing as a free lunch.

Having grown up in a great clan, he understood this principle all the more, and had deep personal experience of it.

"Heh, heh!"

"Cowardly trash."

"Don't you want to gain powerful cultivation and take back your beloved?"

"Once you become strong, what isn't within easy reach?"

"Come on~ open your sea of consciousness~ I, the king, will now help you fulfill your wish."

"Imagine your beloved being pressed down by someone else."

The voice in Lin Bunfan's sea of consciousness kept tempting him.

He shook his head hard, and everything before his eyes began to blur.

He muttered indistinctly, "Beloved, beloved."

"Xuan'er, how can I live without you!"

"Xuan'er, Xuan'er."

Lin Bunfan's consciousness also grew hazy, his eyes turned blood-red, and a crimson light flickered in his pupils.

"Heh, heh!"

"I, the king, will help you now!"

Only see a black qi appear out of thin air in the void, drift down, and penetrate into the top of Lin Bunfan's head.

Lin Bunfan struggled for a few breaths, his whole body trembling, then fell motionless, standing stupidly in place.

"Young Master, what's wrong with you!"

A resonant voice rang out from the void behind Lin Bunfan, and then the aura of the Great Saint Realm burst forth.

An old man rushed over in haste; it was Lin Bunfan's Dao Protector.

He had just seen the Young Master standing there, muttering to himself, but after probing with his divine sense, he found nothing.

He thought the Young Master had been stimulated in Azure Cloud and was venting here, but who would have imagined that after a few breaths of closing his eyes to nurture his spirit, the Young Master would turn out like this.

"If anything happens to the Young Master, how will I answer to the Family Head!"

Hearing that, Lin Bunfan below slowly turned and lifted his gaze; the blood-red in his eyes had already faded.

Only after the old man approached him did Lin Bunfan indifferently say, "Mo Lao, I'm fine."

"It's good that you're fine, it's good that you're fine."

"Young Master, your condition just now really frightened this old man," the elder exhaled deeply, apparently it was just a false alarm.

"I haven't finished speaking—I'm fine, but you're in trouble."

Lin Bunfan gave a sinister smile, the blood-red in his eyes intensifying, and torrents of black demonic qi continually surged from his body.

"Young Master, you!"

"No!"

The old man gasped in shock, then choked up unable to speak, as the Young Master before him seized his throat with force.

Moreover, he was shocked to discover that even with his Great Saint Realm cultivation operating at full power, he could not break free.

Heaven! What on earth has happened!

"Whoosh."

Lin Bunfan exhaled a mighty puff of demonic qi, blowing it toward the old man in his grasp.

The demonic qi floated onto the old man's body, continually devouring him.

Because his throat was tightly gripped, the old man couldn't even utter a miserable cry, only able to struggle.

After a moment, the demonic qi dissipated, and the old man, the Dao Protector, had turned to nothingness.

"Delicious blood food—I, the king, love it too much."

Lin Bunfan licked his lips and said in a low voice.

"No! I don't like it!"

"But having this kind of powerful cultivation is really not bad!"

Lin Bunfan, as if suffering from a split personality, spoke again.

He fully released the demonic qi within him, and its might was actually enough to rival a Holy King Realm expert!

Lin Bunfan laughed loudly, opening his scarlet eyes, and said, "Xuan'er, wait for me—I will surely snatch you back!"

"Eastern Region, Azure Cloud Emperor Sect"

"The blood food of the Desolate Martial Continent, once my demon army arrives, I will devour you all."

"Lin Bufan shifted his tone again, letting out a vicious laugh and a hoarse shout."

"Afterward, he flew toward the location of the cross-domain teleportation grand formation."

"Time flowed, and five days passed again."

"Azure Cloud Sect, outside the sect."

"The Emperor announces that the Azure Cloud mountain opening ends here."

"With a great shout from the Black Emperor."

"The ten-day-long Azure Cloud Emperor Sect mountain opening and disciple recruitment drew to a close."

"Over these ten days, the Azure Cloud Sect has constantly been the focus of the Five Regions; it can be said to have attracted worldwide attention!"

"Especially in the second round's assessment battles, many heaven's chosen from the Five Regions' Heaven's Chosen List appeared, but unfortunately, the number of those who passed was very small."

"However, aside from the Eastern Region cultivators, in the other great regions, there has never been any talk of the Azure Cloud Emperor Sect's heaven's chosen."

"Looking at it this way, Azure Cloud's heaven's chosen are really low-key! Strong! Truly too strong!"

"Among the Five Regions' Heaven's Chosen Ranking, the highest-ranked inner disciple of Azure Cloud, Qin Han, is already in twenty-eighth place."

"It belongs to achieving fame in a single battle!"

"His battle record is also dazzling: with a single palm he defeated Yun Mengluo of the Yun family of Hun Tian God Nation, originally ranked twenty-eighth, and Wang Tian of the Wang family of the Forbidden Clan, originally ranked thirty-fifth."

His battle record is also impressive; with one palm he defeated Yun Mengluo of the Yun family of the Hun Tian Shen Kingdom, who originally ranked twenty-eighth, and Wang Tian of the Wang family of the Forbidden Clan, who originally ranked thirty-fifth.

"The place was buzzing with voices."

"This time, the mountain opening disciple recruitment was grand in scale, with tens of billions of Five Regions cultivators coming to participate."

"After the mountain opening, the Azure Cloud Sect's internal popularity became even more prosperous."

"Mainly the outer disciple and menial disciple areas."

It mainly refers to the area of outer sect disciples and miscellaneous labor disciples.

"In the Azure Cloud Hall."

"【Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the task of recruiting five thousand disciples in the mountain opening; rewards have been issued】"

"【Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Heaven's Chosen Training Ground】"

"【Congratulations to the host for obtaining ten golden summon cards】"

"【Congratulations to the host for obtaining immortal-grade divine metal,?? hundred million tons】"

"【Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Immortal King's Tempering Hammer】"

"【Heaven's Chosen Training Ground: a place for disciples to train, capable of summoning heaven's chosen from different eras across the long river of time to spar with disciples; within the training ground, disciples will not suffer casualties, and if they lose a challenge, they are automatically kicked out of the training ground】"

"【Golden Summon Card: can summon experts ranging from Great Sage to Emperor realm】"

"【Immortal-grade divine metal, can be used to forge immortal-grade artifacts】"

"【Immortal King's Tempering Hammer: an Immortal King's treasure, an eternal Immortal King's tempering treasure for forging immortal artifacts, containing the power of the immortal-grade Dao, can temper and forge immortal artifacts】"

"\"Not bad, this reward is fairly generous. \""

"\"The Artifact Hall is lacking a town-protecting immortal treasure; this just came, and they sent so much immortal metal, from now on our Azure Cloud can mass-produce immortal artifacts. \""

"The Artifact Refining Hall is lacking a town-guarding immortal treasure, isn't it? Here it is now, and so much immortal iron has been sent—from now on my Qing Yun can mass-produce immortal artifacts."

"The system stipulated recruiting five thousand disciples."

"Within these ten days, the number of disciples who passed the first trial in the Azure Cloud Sect reached as high as one hundred thousand."

"Indeed, those who passed the second trial were very few."

"Only a few hundred heaven's chosen barely managed to draw with disciples ranked low on the outer disciple ranking."

"However, many more heaven's chosen with greater talent were defeated; they were assigned to inner disciples, and at the same realm they had utterly no power to fight back."

"Moreover, those who encountered the top ten heaven's chosen on the outer disciple ranking were likewise in tears."

"The senior brothers are too strong; they can only start as menial disciples."

"This is the sentiment of many disciples who failed the trials."

"Feng Qingyang merely smiled indifferently about this."

"Excluding the top-ranked disciples from the assessment, the original intention was to dull their vigor, letting the newly initiated disciples take the senior brothers as examples and train harder to catch up."

"Although there are still only ten inner disciples, the outer disciples have increased by only about a thousand, while the menial disciples have reached over a hundred thousand."

"However, the new regulation has been established and will be implemented in twenty days."

"By then, things will be very different."

"\"Those few hundred who passed the assessment can also be given special attention, after all, regardless of the realm difference or their own fortuitous encounters, they managed to draw with disciples who possess immortal techniques. \""

"\"Of course, these disciples probably haven't grasped much of the immortal techniques; otherwise they wouldn't have only drawn, and the relay battle format is also a factor. \""

Of course, it's estimated that these disciples haven't grasped much of the immortal arts; otherwise they wouldn't have fought to a draw, and the relay battle format is also a reason.

"\"The system used the ten golden summon cards. \""

"\"Manifest the Heaven's Chosen Training Ground, manifest the Immortal King's Tempering Hammer. \""
