Chapter 357 -306: Demon Fiend Certification, A Sudden Interlude

The Demon Palace!

Within every Demon City, there is bound to be a Demon Palace!

Aside from the Kunpeng Palace, the most transcendent structure is undoubtedly the Demon Palace.

Even the City Lord’s Mansion, home to the Great Power who served as the Demon City’s City Lord, was a tier below it.

After coming out of seclusion, Xu Chang’an and Chu Xianyi wasted no time. Following a brief discussion, they headed straight for the Demon Palace.

The Demon Palace was an exceptionally majestic building, surrounded by a swirling, pitch-black halo that seemed to pollute the very space around it.

When darkness is distinct enough from the emptiness around it, that very darkness can be perceived as a halo.

The number of Demon Race members inside the Demon Palace was clearly not as great as in the Kunpeng Palace.

However, the members of the Demon Race entering and leaving the Demon Palace all possessed an indescribable air about them.

Some revealed their massive true forms, some retained demonic features, and others had taken on human forms; they came in all shapes and sizes.

But the vast majority of them shared a common characteristic.

They all wore pitch-black medals.

Demon Monster Medals!

Engraved upon them were different patterns and markings, representing Demon Fiend titles of different ranks.

“A Flying Monster-level Demon Fiend!”

“A Yingzhao-level Demon Fiend!”

“That one is Iron-Cracking Level!”

Xu Chang’an identified the meaning of the patterns one by one.

From the moment he entered the Demon Palace to the central floor, he saw several dozen Demon Fiends in total.

The vast majority of them were Flying Monster-level Demon Fiends, a first-stage title!

A few were Yingzhao-level Demon Fiends, which was the second stage!

There were only a handful of Demon Fiends with the Iron-Cracking Level title.

As for Shangyang-level Demon Fiends, he hadn’t seen any!

Oh, wait!

He had seen one.

Xu Chang’an stepped onto the central floor of the Demon Palace with Chu Xianyi.

It was an extremely spacious area.

The most conspicuous feature in the space was the round Certification Jade Platform for Demon Fiend applications.

Many Demon Fiends were gathered around in small groups.

Besides the Jade Platform, the central floor of the Demon Palace also had some areas for leisure and relaxation.

And Xu Chang’an’s gaze fell upon one such area.

On a meditation cushion, a brawny, towering man was drinking from a wine vat nearly as large as his own body.

Wine sloshed and splashed everywhere.

Gathered around the brawny man were several other members of the Demon Race who looked like humans, joking and teasing him boisterously.

“Fellow Daoist Xiangxian, after this latest Demon Fiend mission, you just need to complete two more of similar difficulty. Your accumulated Merit Points should be enough to apply for the Ji Meng Level Demon Fiend title!”

“That’s right, Fellow Daoist Xiangxian. I heard that if you hadn’t turned the tide and single-handedly slain five Harmonization Demon Race members, this mission would have been a failure!”

“As expected of Fellow Daoist Xiangxian! If you successfully certify as a Ji Meng Level Demon Fiend, you’ll be one of the most famous figures in all of Kongchen Demon City!”

“Hahaha, what are you talking about? As if Fellow Daoist Xiangxian isn’t famous already!”

“In terms of actual combat strength, Fellow Daoist Xiangxian is probably no weaker than a Ji Meng Level Demon Fiend!”

“…”

The brawny man set down the wine vat and let out a hearty laugh.

“Exhilarating! Truly exhilarating!”

“Among those five Harmonization Demon Race members, one of them had mastered a terrifyingly powerful Talent Divine Technique! If I hadn’t gained some new insights and advanced my Cultivation beforehand, I’m afraid I would’ve been done for on this mission! It definitely wouldn’t have gone as smoothly as it did!”

As he spoke, the brawny man’s gaze shifted slightly, landing on a particular spot.

‘He’s noticed me!’

A chill went down Xu Chang’an’s spine.

‘Truly worthy of being a Shangyang-level Demon Fiend!’

An Iron-Cracking Level Demon Fiend was already at the Unity Realm. A member of the Demon Race who could hold the title of Shangyang-level Demon Fiend was an absolute powerhouse within the Unity Realm!

Besides, judging from his words, this brawny man was no ordinary Shangyang-level Demon Fiend!

Xu Chang’an looked away and walked with Chu Xianyi toward the Certification Jade Platform in the center.

‘What an exquisite beauty…’

Xiang Xian watched Chu Xianyi’s graceful figure, a dazed look flickering in his eyes before vanishing in an instant.

Most members of the Demon Race who reached the Refining Void Realm, or even the Unity Realm, were quite handsome or beautiful, with the exception of those with peculiar tastes.

For high-Realm members of the Demon Race, while breathtakingly beautiful individuals weren’t common, they weren’t exactly rare either.

As long as one’s Realm was high enough and one’s strength great enough, what kind of beauty was unattainable?

But…

Looks were one thing, but temperament was another.

One might grow accustomed to stunning looks, but an exceptional temperament could still make a Demon’s heart race with admiration.

And Chu Xianyi was just such a person!

Even with his current Realm and status, Xiang Xian had never seen such a magnificent lady (Demon).

With her breakthrough in Realm, Chu Xianyi had become even more dazzling.

Walking beside Xu Chang’an, Chu Xianyi seemed to sense something.

Her gaze shifted slightly, and she saw Xiang Xian.

‘A Shangyang-level Demon Fiend, hmm…’

On the Jade Platform stood a graceful woman with long, white hair.

“Hello, I’d like to apply for Demon Fiend certification!”

Xu Chang’an said to the white-haired woman.

The white-haired woman’s expression didn’t change, and she handled the request with practiced ease.

“Demon Fiend certification requires a payment of three hundred Spirit Crystals.”

“Alright!”

Xu Chang’an took out three hundred Spirit Crystals from his Storage Bracelet.

“I would like to apply for the Yingzhao-level Demon Fiend certification.”

A trace of surprise appeared on the white-haired woman’s face.

Xu Chang’an promptly revealed the aura of his Late-stage Void Refining Cultivation.

Generally speaking, someone at the Late-stage Void Refining Realm could skip the first-stage Demon Fiend certification and directly apply for the second-stage Yingzhao-level Demon Fiend certification.

Xu Chang’an’s words did, in fact, draw the attention of some of the surrounding Demon Fiends.

It was indeed rare to see a member of the Demon Race applying for a second-stage Demon Fiend title on their very first certification.

After all, promptly converting strength into status was the sensible thing to do!

Although Xu Chang’an had revealed the aura of his Late-stage Void Refining Cultivation…
