The next day.
Hundreds of monsters gathered in the fighting arena, which was overcrowded.
This was Zhang Liang's first time entering the inside of the Demon Fighting Arena. It was like a huge circular playground, surrounded by huge stands that could seat 100,000 people.
At this moment, although the stands were not full, the attendance rate was as high as 80%.
There are not so many people in the Hundred Demon Gathering, but the siren race that comes to participate in the meeting will usually bring a large number of tribesmen, one to ensure safety on the road, and the other to increase their knowledge.
There are more than a hundred sea monster races in total in the Hundred Monster Clan. Even if there are sea monster races from the Mushroom Kingdom and other non-Hundred Monster Clan, or some small sea monster races and casual cultivators join, the number of races does not exceed 300. number. Therefore, there is a clear distinction between the various ethnic groups in the field.
The center of the Demon Fighting Arena is not exactly a flat playground. The terrain here is relatively complex. There are various combinations of terrain such as corals, reefs, seaweed, sandpits, mire, undersea forests, etc.
However, although the terrain is complicated, this is the normal landform of the Immortal Sea.
Zhang Liang and other contestants entered the venue holding tokens, and each was given a pearl pendant to hang around their necks.
When Zhang Liang entered the central arena, his spiritual consciousness swept over it, and he realized that there were all the great foundation-building demons here. There were six or seven thousand people at least, and they hadn't even arrived yet.
This is also the first time he has seen so many foundation-building demons in a small place like the Hundred Demon Gathering.
However, this area is only about three thousand meters in length and breadth. How can it compare with so many people crammed into it?
Although Zhang Liang was curious, on the surface, he just sat on a rock with the bloody demon knife on his shoulder, and no one around him dared to approach.
Before the game even started, Zhang Liang already felt a lot of hostility.
For example, a group of siren mantises surrounded Tang Chuan and looked at Zhang Liang with undisguised hostility.
For example, there was a large group of mushroom people who were pointing at Zhang Liang and seemed to be discussing something.
Another example is the Lingbei tribe. Next to Bei Xuanling, the man in the middle stage of foundation building looked at Zhang Liang from time to time, his eyes full of hatred.
However, Zhang Lianghun didn't care, thinking in his mind, he would kill you all when they meet you alone.
About half an hour later, when all the entrances to the demon arena were closed, the number of foundation-building demons in the entire central arena suddenly reached more than 8,400.
At this time, on a high stand in the fighting arena, many great monsters in the late stage of foundation building came.
Everyone looked towards the stand. In addition to the four guards of the Hundred Demons Collection, there was also a burly old man with gray hair. Even the top guard was standing behind him.
After several guards, there were some late-stage foundation-building monsters from the Hundred Demons Gathering, and Zhang Liang also saw Beina among them. It is estimated that the powerful clans of the Hundred Demon Gathering, as long as they come to the late stage of foundation building, will probably be invited to watch the battle together.
At this moment, the burly old man spoke, and his powerful voice echoed over the Demon Fighting Arena, naturally majestic: "Quiet."
As soon as this sound came out, the entire fighting arena fell silent.
Just listen to the old man say: "I am Fang Hui, the demon envoy of Wan Yao Mansion. I am honored to preside over the gathering of hundreds of demons and hundreds of demons today. Today, with the order of the master of Wan Yao Mansion, I am announcing a great event. Things."
Everyone couldn't help but wonder what the big deal was. Zhang Liang guessed that it was about fighting tactics.
As expected, Fang Huiyouyou said: "The former Master of Ten Thousand Demons Palace went to Yubei Demon City to practice, and after a hundred years, he finally became the Nascent Soul Demon Lord..."
"Hiss~"
"Nascent Soul Demon Lord?"
"The Nascent Soul Demon is so terrifying."
"It is said that tens of thousands of years ago, there seemed to be a Nascent Soul Great Demon in our Hundred Demons Collection."
"The Great Nascent Soul Demon is the Nascent Soul Demon Lord. At that level, he can command a territory of hundreds of thousands or even millions of miles. He is the master of this domain, so he is called the Demon Lord."
"The Demon Lord is so powerful, so terrifying!"
Zhang Liang couldn't help but be surprised. He didn't expect that the Yubei Demon City could actually give birth to a strong Nascent Soul.
You know, in the human world of immortality, there is no Nascent Soul power in the known Hidden Dragon Sea area. Even a super sect like Lingxian Palace with millions of disciples only has one Golden Pill Sect Master.
However, on the Undersea Monster Clan side, Nascent Soul Demon Lord was actually born. From the current point of view, the cultivation potential of the Kraken is much higher than that of the human cultivation world!
I don’t know if there are any Nascent Soul monks in the world outside the Hidden Dragon Sea where Lingxian Palace is located.
There was an uproar in the field, and Fang Hui immediately shouted: "The Demon Lord finally walked out of our Ten Thousand Demons Mansion, so after becoming the Demon Lord, he immediately gave major benefits to the Ten Thousand Demons Mansion. In the past, such as the Hundred Demons Festival, there would be rewards First-level battle tactics and certain demon elixirs will be rewarded. But this time, the Hundred Demon Festival will be rewarded with second-level battle tactics. Moreover, the top 100 will be qualified to enter the arsenal of the Ten Thousand Demons Mansion, and may even be able to Choose another skill."
"Huh~"
"Second-level fighting method?"
"What? Is there a second level of fighting skills?"
"The value of the first-level fighting method can be as high as 8,000 first-level high-grade demon pills. How much is the second-level fighting method worth?"
"Hiss~"
"If you can practice that kind of fighting method, wouldn't you be able to dominate the gathering of hundreds of monsters? Who can be your opponent?"
"More than Zongheng Baiyao Gathering? Even if he goes to Ten Thousand Demons Mansion, he will definitely be a top genius."
Fang Hui was also happy that these people kept exclaiming in surprise. After a long while, he calmed down the people again and said: "This Ten Thousand Demon Conference, as usual, there are seven rounds of competitions. This first round is Pressure match. Everyone in the field, there will be various tests such as high pressure, undercurrents, water blades, etc. in the Demon Fighting Arena later. Anyone who retreats will not be able to participate in the next round. You must be careful. In the first round, the pressure match, there will be After an hourglass, start on time."
I saw that this time, an hourglass was sacrificed. The hourglass hung in the sky. Everyone looked at the hourglass and waited quietly.
Zhang Liang has never participated in the Kraken competition, so he is looking forward to it. He was confident that so many people could block him, and there was no way he couldn't even block him in the first round.
After a while, the hourglass countdown finally ended.
At that moment, a layer of earthy yellow barrier appeared on the entire arena of the Demon Fighting Arena. Zhang Liang couldn't help but be surprised. He didn't expect that the Demon Fighting Arena turned out to be a large barrier.
Just relying on people like Bai Yao Ji to build such a large formation barrier, I guess Xuan must be a big demon who practices formations in Wan Yao Mansion and has set up formations here before.
Just as Zhang Liang was thinking about this formation, he suddenly felt a weight on his shoulders. He couldn't help but look up and felt that the pressure here suddenly became stronger and was getting stronger.
"Hey! It turns out to be a composite formation. It seems that the person who set up the formation is quite powerful."
At this moment, Zhang Liang and others jumped off the rock and allowed the gravity to continue to increase.
In less than a moment, the gravity here doubled, and the water pressure became nearly twice as strong.
However, this is nothing to a body refiner.
But compared to other sea monsters, it is different. Even now, it has made many people feel uncomfortable.
After a while, when the gravity and water pressure increased by nearly three times, more than ten people were pressed to the ground.
This can't help but make Zhang Liang a little speechless. Is the foundation-building demon's endurance so bad? This stress test hasn’t even started yet, right?
At this moment, the sea water suddenly started to roll. At first it was just a small wave, rushing over everyone, and the force was not very strong. However, the second round, the third round...
The power of this wave doubled every time it hit. When the ten waves attacked, it was like a huge tide. Many sea monsters desperately bloomed their demonic energy to form a barrier to resist.
As for Zhang Liang, he was completely unaware. He was holding the sword with one hand and placed it in front of him. His whole body was completely motionless. When the wave came, the wave actually diverted away from the blood-colored demon sword.
On the other hand, at least half of the other sea monsters were already resisting at this moment.
After the undertide struck for more than twenty waves, almost all the sea monsters in the audience, except for the hermit crab monster, began to actively attack the undertide. Otherwise, if they stood still, they would most likely be swept away by the undertow.
Just like that, the undercurrent struck, and many of the great foundation-building demons were swept away.
However, there is another person who is very powerful, naturally Zhang Liang. He has one sword and one knife, and he stands as firm as a tree. He has been standing there for a long time. This couldn't help but attract the attention of many viewers.
Some people were surprised: "In the middle stage of foundation building, the big demon has begun to attack the undercurrent. Why is he still standing?"
"Yes! He has been standing for so long. He is not a parasite and can bear such a heavy shell."
"This shark head is not simple!"
"Nonsense, what do you want to say?"
Even though he was on the stand, the old man came back and was a little surprised: "What this boy is holding is a broad-edged fish-killing knife, right? Is there anyone in your Hundred Demons Gathering who uses this kind of monster weapon?"
The big guard said quickly: "This guy is said to be a casual cultivator. Maybe he got some true teachings by chance."
Fang Hui nodded slightly: "Those who can use this kind of sword have good physiques and are extremely strong. Let's see how this guy performs next."
Finally, after the undercurrent wave exceeded thirty, a large number of Gangshui blades appeared in the water. Originally, under the heavy pressure of gravity, the undercurrent was difficult to resist, but now large areas of Gangshui blades appeared, making it difficult for most people to avoid them.
However, they saw that the hermit crab monsters got into the shell one after another, spinning on top of the shell and carrying the water blade hard.
For example, most of the little mushroom men in the Mushroom Kingdom use tortoise shell shields, which can actually block the attack. The energy contained in their small bodies is quite large.
However, there were also people who were bruised and bruised when the Gangshui Blade appeared.
Around Zhang Liang, people were swept away by the undercurrent from time to time.
But Zhang Liang still did not move. Even if the Gangshui Blade was right in front of him, Zhang Liang did not dodge, and even let the water blade hit him.
"Good guy, this shark head is at the fourth level of body refining."
"No wonder, how can this water blade penetrate the physical foundation?"
In the field, Tang Chuan from the Mantis Nest, the little mushroom man who had a conflict with Zhang Liang, and the man from the Lingbei tribe couldn't help but feel their hearts sinking. Is this man so powerful?
Although it was only the first round of stress testing, he was the only one in the audience, except the hermit crab demon, who could achieve this level of immobility.
Zhang Liang watched one after another of the great foundation-building demons being slashed away by the water-throwing blade, without any disturbance in his heart.
For a full hour, the number of contestants in the field was visibly reduced by nearly half.
When the water blade, undercurrent, high pressure and gravity on the body disappeared, the arena returned to calm.
Those sea monsters that were swept away and cut back were all dejected. This was a big blow to them.
Many sea monsters think that after building a foundation, they will be considered strong, but in fact, there are strong and weak levels in foundation building, and there are high and low levels in the same realm. And they are obviously the weaker group.
I heard Fang Hui shout loudly: "Congratulations to the 4602 contestants present. You have successfully withstood the stress test. This means that you have reached the mid-level level among the Foundation-Establishing Siren. However, in the next competition, It will only become more difficult and thrilling each round. The first test you will face is the danger of falling. Without experience and difficulties, how can you become a great demon? In the second round of the competition, If you want to win the snatching competition, you need to snatch the pearl from one person's neck before you can advance and leave. I announce that it will start after an hourglass."
"This~"
Zhang Liang couldn't help but wonder, in such a large arena, although there were half fewer contestants, there were still more than 4,600 people. If there were to be a fight, they might not be able to perform well.
However, he didn't mind.
After a while.
The hourglass countdown ended again, and Fang shouted back: "In just a few seconds, Fang showed his true strength. I announce that the second round of snatching competition has begun."
It’s still the first screening.
However, whether intentionally or unintentionally, there was inexplicably no one around Zhang Liang. It seemed that no one wanted to confront him at this moment.
Except for Tang Chuan who seemed to be eager to try, he was heard saying to a group of Kraken Mantises around him: "You guys, use the Mantis Circle Killing Formation and try to attack the Blood Shark."
"Yes, Third Young Master."
Tang Chuan thought he was smart and let the masters of the clan test it out first. This is the time when there are the most experts in the clan. The further back, the more clan members are eliminated, and it becomes more difficult for me to take action against this blood shark.
Moreover, under the mantis ring killing formation, even if the blood shark cannot be killed, it will not be defeated.
However, they saw that the six Siren Mantises suddenly transformed into their own bodies. They were linked head to tail and turned into a large ring. They started to rotate and cut the sea water with sharp blades. The demonic aura around them merged with each other and became very powerful.
As soon as the mantis ring killing formation came out, the surrounding sea monsters retreated one after another.
Many people in the stands exclaimed: "This is only the second round, is there going to be a fight?"
"That's the mantis ring killing formation in the mantis nest. It's made up of multiple siren mantises. They share their demon energy and attack together. It's said that they can explode with twice the combat power."
"It seems that there is a conflict between the mantis nest and the shark head!"
"Nonsense, then Tang Chuan was humiliated by the shark head, and you have to take revenge even if I leave you alone."
"I don't know if that shark head can stop it."
Zhang Liangzheng was worried that he had no opponent. Seeing these sea monster mantises coming to kill him, he immediately weighed his hand holding the bloody demon sword.
Just when the mantis ring killing formation appeared more than ten meters away, the remaining power of the blade had already touched Zhang Liang, and Zhang Liang suddenly raised the blood-colored demonic sword.
At that moment, Bawang Jin and the violent secret technique were activated at the same time, and the bloody demon sword suddenly bloomed with scarlet. Zhang Liang was seen holding the sword in one hand, lowered the sword by half, pressed the sword with his elbow, and instantly increased the speed of slashing the bloody demon sword several times.
"Pfft!"
The onlookers saw a trace of blood falling on the field, a scarlet color that was dazzling. The next second, the mantis killing array passed by Zhang Liang.
However, countless people's eyes widened, because they were shocked to find that the mantis ring killing formation was cut into two pieces by Zhang Liang's sword.
Two Siren Mantises were intercepted on the spot.
"It's so scary. This knife is so fast."
"What, the mantis ring killing formation was cut open by a knife."
"Kill two major foundations with one sword formation? This guy is so fierce."
"Look, a large amount of blood is spreading towards the shark head."
"Hiss! That knife swallowed up all the energy and blood."
High above the stands, Fang Hui was suddenly shocked: "Is this the Demon Sword Zongheng Technique?"
"Um?"
Several major guards were wondering, what is the Demon Sword Zongheng Technique?
I heard the other party reply: "I remembered that eight hundred years ago, one day in the Wan Yao Mansion was born, and he created his own Zongheng Dao Technique. The powerful clans around the Wanwan Demon Mansion are invincible. Later, because of being too confident, he went to Yubei Demon City to challenge him. As a result, he offended the rich clan's peerless genius, was severely wounded and fled, and then disappeared."
"Yes, it is this technique. It kills demons and drinks blood, and the fierce look is revealed. This is definitely the demon sword vertical and horizontal technique. Where did this guy come from?"
The big guard said hurriedly: "This person's name is Blood Shark. He is said to be a casual cultivator. I don't know where he came from."
Fang Hui pondered for a moment: "Rogue cultivator, if there is no one to guide a rogue cultivator, how can he be so powerful? In the past few hundred years of your gathering of hundreds of demons, have you ever seen a great golden elixir demon pass by?"
The big guard shook his head quickly: "I really don't know about this."
Fang Hui chuckled: "Well, even if that person is still alive, even if he is promoted to the Golden Core Demon, he should be in his twilight years, and may even have died. However, I still don't let him die easily."
The big guard and others were speechless, thinking that with this fighting power, do you expect anyone in this arena to be able to kill him? It might be possible to defeat him, but to kill him?
Several major guards shook their heads secretly. It was too difficult to kill this blood shark with these foundation-building sea monsters.
However, after several rounds of guarding, the mantid clan's late-stage foundation-building demon's heart sank. The demon-suppressing envoy might have told him on purpose!
At this moment, the few Kraken Mantises that had not been killed were frightened and quickly retreated. But Zhang Liang slashed his sword, and they didn't even dare to snatch back the body of their companion.
Tang Chuan, who was watching the battle not far away, felt nervous when he saw Zhang Liang's glance.
He is in the middle stage of foundation building. Can he kill two big demons of the same race who are in the early stage of foundation building with one sword?
Maybe, but definitely not so easy and freehand. Did you do something wrong? At this moment, he couldn't help but look at the stands, and on the stands, the late-stage foundation-building demon of the Mantis Nest looked ugly at this moment. If he had known better, he would not have brought this Tang Chuan out. He had not even passed the audition, but he was completely defeated. How does this make other Siren races view his Mantis Nest?
In the field, Zhang Liang's sword cut off many people's thoughts.
I saw that he had just taken off two pearl necklaces and was thinking about whether to kill Tang Chuan when he suddenly heard the referee on the sidelines shouting quickly: "Participant No. 6666 has won and can leave."
Zhang Liang thought for a while, forget it, there are plenty of opportunities later.
After Zhang Liang left the field, he handed all three pearls on his body to the referee, and then was arranged to watch the game in the nearest stand.
His eyes swept over some strong men from the rich clans. Unfortunately, this second round was just an audition. Those who are really powerful can grab the pearl without showing too much, so overall, not much can be seen. Come.
Of course, in the eyes of ordinary viewers, the fighting scenes in the field are still very interesting.
At this moment when Zhang Liang was watching the battle, someone suddenly came to Fang Hui's side in the stands high up, and the two seemed to communicate something through sound transmission.
"What? Are you telling the truth?"
"Master Demon Suppressor, what I said is absolutely true."
Fang Hui's eyes suddenly flashed, and he immediately said to the chief guard: "This gathering of hundreds of demons will be hosted by you for the time being. I have important matters and need to leave."
"Uh~"
The big guard looked astonished. Normally, the monster gathering was presided over by the demon envoy. What happened this time?
"Sir, Demon Suppressor, what happened?"
Fang replied: "Don't ask, you will know when it's time for you to know. If nothing happens, I will be back in half a month. You can take charge of it."
"Yes, Lord Guardian."
Fang Hui left in a hurry, seeming a little anxious. Zhang Liang, who was bored, saw this scene, but he didn't pay much attention to it. After all, he is the Demon Suppressor. Do I need to tell you where I want to go?
Outside the Demon Fighting Arena, Fang Hui directly counted a dozen foundation-building overhauls, all of whom had followed him to host the Hundred Demons Festival.
I heard Fang Hui walking outside the Hundred Demons Gathering and asking the person next to him, "Tell me."
"Yes, sir. When the seven of us were patrolling various parts of the Hundred Demon Gathering, we found that many ferocious beasts were moving towards one place, so we curiously went to check it out. As a result, we found that large volcanic secret place, and the crater had actually been occupied by people. Open."
"What? The secret realm has been opened? Did you find someone coming out of it?"
"Not yet."
Fang Hui asked again: "How big is the volcano secret realm?"
The men next to me said in a hurried voice: "It's not small. We have gone nearly five hundred miles deep and haven't finished it yet. It is estimated to be at least a thousand miles deep. It seems to be an independent space."
"Oh? Have you been in?"
The subordinate's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly explained: "I was not sure at first, so seven of my subordinates made an appointment to go to the secret realm to investigate, and agreed to meet up in two days. As a result, only three of us left in the end. After feeling that something was wrong, my subordinate asked Lao Ba and Lao Hong to stay there to guard, and then my subordinate quickly returned and reported the matter to your Excellency."
Fang Hui did not reveal his thoughts, but praised: "Very good, you did a good job in this matter, I will give you a credit. I didn't expect that when I came to host a hundred demons event, I would encounter such a good thing. It’s so pitiful. Could it be that I’ve been at the peak of Foundation Establishment for too long and you’re giving me a chance to be promoted to the Great Demon of Golden Core?”
The subordinate immediately congratulated: "Congratulations, Lord Demon Suppressor, that secret realm is huge, absolutely extraordinary, and the level of danger is just right. There must be a great opportunity in it. All of this, I must be tight-lipped about."
"Yes, you are very good. If I have the opportunity to be promoted to the Golden Core Demon, you will be the first to do it. Then you will follow me. I will promise your clan peace and stability for three hundred years."
"Thank you, Lord Guardian."
Zhang Liang was completely unaware of the changes in the volcanic secret realm at this moment. At first, he thought that submarine volcanoes were submarine volcanoes. Who would dare to run into a mountain full of magma? So I didn't even look at it, I just patrolled around and left.
At this moment, he was waiting for the start of the third round of the competition. He thought that if he could obtain the second-level fighting method and get the 100,000 demon pills from Beibei Sea, his merits would be complete.
When he returns to the Black Fish Department, he must break through to the middle stage of foundation building, and then refine all the second-level middle-grade demon elixirs in his body. Then he will come to the Hundred Demons Gathering to steal it again, and maybe the later stage of foundation building will not be a problem.
