Chapter 813 - Real Demon Emperor

Yuan nearly jumped out of his seat when he realized that they were going to use a real demon instead of an artificial demon during this event.

'This is pure insanity! What if something goes wrong and the demon escapes? That would be catastrophic!' He cried inwardly.

However, the other people there had a different response.

"Wow, what a strong-looking demon. What rank do you think it is?" Lian Er mumbled to herself, clearly more intrigued than terrified of its existence.

"It should be at least a Demon General, right?" Lian Li said.

"It's hard to tell since the demon has its aura restrained by those red chains, but I doubt it would be anything lesser than a Demon General. After all, this is also an exam for these Master Demon Sealers." Lian San responded.

Once the demon was revealed, Qian Chu spoke in a clear voice, "The first one to seal or kill this demon will become the next Supreme Demon Sealer. I will remove the final seals on the demon in ten seconds."

The five participants quickly spread out and surrounded the demon.

Even though they were competing against each other, they also knew how risky it was to try and fight the demon alone.

Their best option at the moment would be to fight the demon together and slowly seal the demon, saving their energy before trying to get the last hit.

While everyone waited for the ten seconds to pass, the demon used this time to analyze its surroundings and situation.

"A bunch of lowly humans dare to use this one for entertainment? I will tear all of your limbs and drink your blood for this offense." The demon showed a malicious smile on its face, and it did not seem worried even in the slightest despite its seemingly hopeless situation.

Ten seconds passed in the blink of an eye, and Qian Chu waved his sleeves when the ten seconds were up, removing the red chains that had been suppressing the demon's power this entire time.

The second the red chains disappeared, the demon released a deafening roar, and an immensely powerful aura erupted from its body, sweeping the place with intense killing intent that immediately shocked the spectators.

When Yuan felt the killing intent for the first time, his body froze from shock, and he even lost his ability to breathe.

'W-What is this killing intent?! What is this bloodthirsty aura?! I have never experienced anything like this before!' Yuan cried inwardly, and he could feel his instincts screaming at him to run away from the scene as soon as possible.

It felt like he was before the grim reaper itself, and that death was right in front of him.

However, he resisted such urges and even bit on his lips until it began bleeding, using pain to keep himself sane.

"A-Are you okay?" Lian Er noticed Yuan's condition and asked him despite being affected by the demon's killing intent herself, as her whole body was shivering nonstop.

"Y-Yes…" He responded in a mosquito-like voice.

While under this intense stress that challenged him mentally and physically, pushing him to his limits, something began changing within Yuan.

Meanwhile, the five participants immediately began their assault on the demon the second it was released from its bindings.

They all released their demon sealing technique simultaneously at the demon, but the demon quickly reacted and used a movement technique to dodge it.

However, it was unable to dodge all of the demon sealers' attack, only successfully dodging three of them.

[Demon Sealing Pulse!]

Yan Hara pushed her palm forward, sending a powerful wave of demon sealing aura at the demon, hitting it directly in its chest and blowing a hole in its body.

The demon, of course, healed its wound almost immediately, and it didn't seem to be affected by the demon sealing aura.

Yan Hara did not panic at the result and continued her assault on the demon with the other demon sealers.

Before a minute has even passed, the five demon sealers managed to hit the demon with over a dozen demon sealing techniques, yet the demon continued to move around as though it was unaffected by demon sealing aura.

"This demon is definitely a Demon Emperor…" Lian Er sighed.

And she continued, "If not for the Leader's presence, I would be too scared to even stay here and watch this…"

'This is the prowess of a real Demon Emperor?' Yuan thought to himself, still struggling to keep calm while enduring the demon's intense aura.

Although the demon's killing intent was very powerful, it was actually not something Yuan couldn't handle. Instead, it was the demon's cultivation aura that Yuan couldn't endure.

He was only a Spirit Lord while the demon was most likely above Spirit Sovereign— it was at a level that he didn't even have knowledge of, and it could be considered a miracle that he was remaining conscious even under such intense pressure.

"AHAHAHAHA! I am not the one entertaining you humans, it's the other way around! Continue to entertain me, and I will allow you to live a little longer!" The Demon Emperor laughed out loud as it continued to eat up demon sealing techniques without any fear in its eyes.

A few minutes later, the Demon Emperor eventually got bored of being attacked, so it started attacking the demon sealers.

"Bloody Impalement!"

The Demon Emperor's body suddenly shot out hundreds of arm-sized needles made out of its own blood like a grenade, sending these needles all over the place.

The five demon sealers immediately halted their offense and went into defense, trying their best to deflect these needles, but they were not able to remain unscathed at the end, suffering above minor injuries.

"Is that all you've got?! It appears to me that demon sealers have gotten much weaker since that bastard's death!" The Demon Emperor laughed out loud.

"Shut up! The Divine Paragon was never confirmed dead! He's still missing!" Yan Hara rebuked.

"Whatever makes you sleep at night, human." The Demon Emperor turned to look at her with a mocking grin on its face.

"The stench of demons, it never changes…"

Lian Er turned to look at Yuan when she heard him mumbling something, "Huh? What did you just say?"

Although it might just be her, she felt that something was off about Yuan— like something about him had suddenly changed.
