Chapter 571: The Royal Competition in Front of the Demon King

“Can I participate?” Qian Jin asked. Although this competition won’t have the best young generation warriors in the Demon Territory, it would have a lot of the top-tier ones.

If he was able to battle with a few of them, he could get a better idea of the power level of the young demon warriors, and he would also get a better idea of the power level of the young human warriors.

That’s right! The Zence Empire and the Lucifer Empire had been fighting with each other for years now, and no one was able to be victorious over the other. The cause of that was due to the equivalent power level of older warriors and younger warriors.

“Sure,” Lucifer Serage replied with a bitter smile on his face. In this competition, all the warriors wanted to showcase themselves in front of the Demon King; they didn’t care about their opponent’s status.

In the history of this competition, there had been numerous case where the princes who wanted to showcase themselves got beat up and sometimes even killed by their opponents.

“Oh, then please register me.” Qian Jin looked around and said, “Thank you, Your Highness. Before you go, please inform the demons here that I, Jiliu Feijing, is in charge of this place.”

“You are in charge?” Lucifer Serage thought to himself; he was a little displeased with Qian Jin’s attitude. “Then what am I? Even Fasthink Mingxiang didn’t dare to say that when he was the project manager!”

“Whatever!” Lucifer Serage sighed in his head, “This mixed-blood has half of the Lucifer Bloodline in him and this arrogance has been inside of him forever. Since Fasthink Mingxiang is now dead, he is the only one who can help me. Why shouldn’t he be arrogant?”

“Did you guys hear?” Lucifer Serage looked around and said to all the demons in the hall, “From now on, you all have to listen to Master Feijing’s orders! Do whatever he says!”

After he said that, the Crown Prince turned around and whispered to a dark-skinned bulky demon behind him, “Monitor this Jiliu Feijing with a few other demons. If he does anything funny, execute him on the spot!”

“As you wish, Your Highness! I, Chatu, am very close to becoming a Saint Warrior, I can take care of him easily.”

Lucifer Serage nodded out of satisfaction after hearing that. “Jiliu Feijing is only an ordinary warrior after all. Even though he is powerful, he is close to his limit. He could advance further if he creates a Soul-Power for himself, but that will take time. Chatu can easily take care of him,” he thought.

Meanwhile, Qian Jin was walking in between the coffins and he would sometimes look at the metal sphere on the biggest coffin. “How can I take that away? It looks like that Saint Item is connected to the huge coffin. Even though I’m strong, I can’t lift up the whole metal coffin and place it inside my Warrior Dimension. I could potentially move it a little or destroy it, but there is no way that I can take it with me,” he thought.

Qian Jin slowly walked up to the huge standing coffin in the middle of the hall. He looked up at this metal coffin, and he realized that this coffin was far larger than he thought, and that metal sphere was more chilling than he anticipated.

“Huh?” Qian Jin’s vision blurred a little. After staring at that metal sphere for a little too long, he suddenly saw a series of images. In these images, there were many Fallen Angel Bloodline Warriors fighting with Elf King Bloodline Warriors; there were also a ton of other warriors in the background such as Ares Bloodline Warriors, Tri-head Golden Dragon Bloodline Warriors, and other Bloodline Warriors from the side of the demon.

These images displayed themselves in the sky and it was truly magnificent.

Suddenly, Qian Jin saw Iron-Arm Mantis Bloodline Warriors.

They were warriors who were truly not afraid of death; they were charging at the very front.

“What are you seeing?” Chatu asked; this dark-skinned demon somehow got behind Qian Jin. “This is a magical item. Every demon would see something different every time. It doesn’t matter what you saw, I advise you not to look at it for too long.”

“Huh?” Qian Jin was confused.

“This thing is strange,” Chatu said lightly. “A lot of demons had been taken by the images they saw. When other demons were paying attention, they jumped into a coffin and suicided while shouting, ‘I need to be with them! I need to pursue eternity with them!’. It was truly scary.”

What Chatu said shocked Qian Jin; when he mimicked the tone of those demons in the stories, goosebumps appeared on Qian Jin’s body.

“Really?” Qian Jin walked around the huge standing coffin and looked at the runes engraved on them. Soon, he frowned; he saw a lot of special runes that could mess with one’s mental state and consciousness, and he knew that Chatu wasn’t just saying that to scare him.

“If I touched that metal sphere…” Qian Jin was sure that anyone who touched it would go crazy unless that person or demon had a lot of spiritual energy.

Zence Matten! Qian Jin realized that the Sixth Prince of Zence was key to robbing this metal sphere; he was the only person who won’t be affected by the runes on the coffin in a short time.

“Master Feijing, please start executing on the project,” Chatu said to Qian Jin in a cold voice. “The time is limited and Crown Prince His Highness wants to get the essence out of the Heart of the Lucifer as soon as possible.”

Qian Jin turned around and said to this demon, “You are right. I will give a list of materials I need later; I need them to create a small model to test out my theory.”

He knew that this assistant of his was really here to keep an eye on him.

Chatu nodded. “Fasthink Mingxiang did this before when he was in charge. It seems like all Rune Masters would build a small model beforehand.”

Qian Jin sneered as he watched Chatu leave with the list. “Model? Who said that the magic array needed for extracting the essence should be massive? As long as there was the proper Magic Conductor that Lucifer Serage can wear on his body, he would be able to extract out the essence with a small model. A massive magic array? Although I don’t know what Fasthink Mingxiang wanted to do, I do know that he isn’t planning to help Lucifer Serage,” he thought.

“I need to find a small coffin!” Qian Jin looked around and wanted to see if he can steal a small coffin to study closely.

Chatu who was walking out of the underground hall turned around and looked at Qian Jin as he sneered, “Such an arrogant bastard! He wants to participate in the Royal Competition in front of the Demon King? Do you understand the power of Bloodline Warriors? This time, Crown Prince His Majesty has to visit the powerful participants and give them benefits so they would go easy on you.”

“Go easy? That is funny!” Lucifer Zhengshi pulled back his Bloodline Battle Form, and his appearance returned to normal. When he listened to the report from his subordinate on the new order from the Crown Prince, he laughed, “Great! Although I don’t know how Fasthink Mingxiang got killed, this Jiliu Feijing is likely to become Serage’s head Rune Master. I can’t let that happen! I will use this opportunity to kill this Jiliu Feijing! As for new project manager for Serage? I will send him a new one.”

The Royal Competition in front of the Demon King was a big event in the Lucifer Clan and in the Lucifer Empire. Although this competition was held annually, the competition this year was much more important.

Normally, the Demon King himself would show up and watch it, and other clans would send a few elders and high-level figure to the Fallen City to watch as well.

This year shouldn’t be any different, but the appearance of Jiliu Feijing affected it greatly.

This name was like a rising sun in the dark; the news around this mixed-blood demon instantly got around the Lucifer Empire. Everyone knew that this young mixed-blood demon entered the Fallen City with Lucifer Lucy who was qualified to participate in the competition.

Since Lucifer Lucy had declared that she was competing this year, could Jiliu Feijing who was her retinue join the competition as well?

Normally, a demon who didn’t have a bloodline won’t attract much attention. In this era where Bloodline Warriors dominated everyone, most of the people and demons could be paying attention to them.

However, this tradition was broken by the appearance of Jiliu Feijing.

A demon who controlled the Central Blacksmith Union and Central Rune Union was enough to attract attention, let alone the fact that this demon also met up with the president of the Central Pharmacist Union and Central Mystic Pharmacist Union after he entered the city.

Afterward, the two presidents who saw each other as mortal enemies both put out a statement saying that they were giving their positions to the young mixed-blood named Jiliu Feijing.

When all the demons were still in shock, the president of the Central Warrior Union also made a statement saying that Jiliu Feijing would become a Vice-President in the Central Warrior Union and Jiliu Feijing would be taking over once he was powerful enough.

As if someone threw a Forbidden Spell, this news caused an explosion.

Although the previous four Central Unions were influential and had powerful mages and warriors in them, they weren’t keen on battles.

Central Warrior Union! Although it didn’t have any Bloodline Warriors in them, it had the most members! Even the Bloodline Families couldn’t ignore it.

Bloodline Warriors could ignore one ordinary warrior, ten ordinary warriors, 100 ordinary warriors, and 1,000 ordinary warriors, but they couldn’t ignore all the ordinary warriors!

Now, one young mixed-blood had control of all five of these unions… how mighty was that? As long as he didn’t commit treason, even the Demon King would try to befriend a demon like this.
